Frog Jumping Day

About This Date

A story about a jumping frog made Mark Twain famous. It was first published in 1865 as "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog" while Twain was still a struggling journalist in California - and two years later it was the main attraction of his first book. He never wrote another short story that had such widespread appeal and was so popular.

"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"
by Mark Twain
