The Times on the undistinguished Civil War military career of Samuel Clemens; if you didn't know the story, you'd have to read well down into the blog post to dope out that he served on the Confederate side.[*] He then lit out for the territories. "Clemens intended to make his fortune by mining silver, but he soon discovered that journalism was not only easier physically but also paid more regularly."

[*] Unlike Stanley, of Livingstone fame, who served on both sides.
