These are the words of a great man with an extra ordinary vision; the man who believed throughout his life that action speaks louder than words and he proved himself
by his actions.

Once Charles Langdon showed a picture of his sister, Olivia, to Twain. Twain fell in love with her at first sight but Olivia rejected his first proposal. Two months later, they were engaged and a year later married in February 1870 in Elmira, New York, She belonged to a wealthy and liberal family, and through her he met, “socialists, principled atheists and activists for women’s rights and social equality,” including Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, and the writer and utopian socialist William Dean Howells, who became
