I moved to Hartford, Connecticut in 1986 from Puerto Rico. I immediately learned about the Hartford Whalers, Mark Twain, and it's nicknamed the "Insurance Capital of the World." I have learned so much about Hartford and Hartford's History over the years. Each neighborhood (Pratt Street, Downtown Hartford, Parkville, Frog Hollow, Asylum Hill, The West End, Sheldon Charter Oak, The North East, The South End, South Green, The South Meadows, The North Meadows, Blue Hills, Barry Square, Behind the Rocks, Clay Arsenal, South West, and Upper Albany) is like a piece of the puzzle that makes Hartford New England's Rising Star. Hartford hast it! It's so nice to see the different cultures in Hartford and for them to be celebrated each year. I love the parades (Greater Hartford St; Patrick's Day Parade; Greater Hartford Puerto Rican Day Parade; Greater Hartford West Indian Parade; Hooker Day Parade; Connecticut Veterans Parade) and sports teams (Hartford Wolf Pack; Hartford Yard Goats; Hartford Athletic.) I enjoy visiting Hartford Circus Fire Memorial, Wadsworth Atheneum Museum, Connecticut Science Center, and many other landmarks feet from each other. I love that Hartford Public High School is the second oldest public secondary school in the United States which I graduated from in 1993. I am a proud University of Hartford Alumni, and I am also proud that we have a variety of universities and colleges (Trinity College, UCONN, Capital Community College) in our city. The Hartford Courant, which is the oldest continuously published city newspaper in the country and the Hartford Public Library has helped me a lot with my research as well as previous and present dwellers. I enjoy taking pictures of Hartford and started documenting in social media under the name "iamhartford." In 2021 I decided to launch my journal collection using my pictures of Hartford, Connecticut. I am very proud that I was able to incorporate multiple things that I love and enjoy and make a journal.

The twelve notebooks in volume 1 provided information about the eighteen years in which the most profound, even dramatic, changes took place in Clemens' life. He early achieved the limits of his boyhood ambition by becoming a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, a position there is no reason to believe he would have abandoned if the Civil War had not forced him to do so. In fleeing from a war which principle and temperament prevented him from supporting, Clemens entered into the first stages of his literary career by serving as a reporter for newspapers in Virginia City and San Francisco. When the restricted experiences available to a local reporter had been thoroughly explored, he moved on as a traveling correspondent to the Sandwich Islands and then still farther to Europe and the Near East. The latter travels provided him with material for The Innocents Abroad, the book that established Mark Twain as a popular author with an international reputation in 1869. In 1872 he further exploited his personal history by publishing Roughing It and in the same year visited England to gather material on English people and institutions. He returned to England the following year, this time accompanied by his family and by a secretary who would record the observations printed as the last notebook in volume 1. Volume 2 of Mark Twain's Notebooks and Journals, documenting Clemens' activities in the years from 1877 to 1883, consists largely of the record of three trips which would serve as the source for three travel narratives: the excursion to Bermuda, a prolonged tour of Europe, and an evocative return to the Mississippi River. Despite the common impulse to preserve observations and impressions for literary use, the contents of the notebooks are remarkably different in their vitality-and the works which developed from the notes are correspondingly varied.
