Orion Clemens
Orion Clemens (1825–1897) was the first and only Secretary of Nevada Territory. He is best known through his relationship to his younger brother Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain.
==Early life==
Born in Tennessee, Orion Clemens was the oldest of seven children. Four of his six siblings died before reaching the age of twenty, leaving only his brother Samuel (1835–1910) and their sister Pamela (1827–1904). In 1839, the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mark Twain, American Author and Humorist )〕 a port town on the Mississippi River which was to eventually inspire some of his brother Sam's stories.
As a young man, Clemens worked in his father's general store, and later as an apprentice at a local newspaper, before moving to St. Louis, Missouri. In St. Louis, Clemens began studying law under attorney Edward Bates, who later served as Attorney General for President Abraham Lincoln. After his father's death in 1847, Clemens returned to Hannibal and purchased the local newspaper, then became the owner of ''The Hannibal Journal'' where Samuel worked for him. Unable to make a successful living as a journalist in Hannibal, Clemens relocated to Muscatine, Iowa, in 1853 and to Keokuk, Iowa, in 1854.〔(twainquotes.com ), ''The Lost Autobiography of Orion Clemens.''〕 In Keokuk, with his new wife Mollie Stotts, Clemens began running the "Ben Franklin Book and job printing office".〔 In 1855, he hired his brother Samuel Clemens at $5 a week to move there and assist him, Samuel stayed for a year and a half before growing restless and moving on.〔
