Classic Literature Series #2: Tom Sawyer Traditional Cache

I've seen a lot of cache series, but I have not seen anything related to literature or books.  I decided that there needed to be one.  As my username states, I am a writer.  I am also a reader.  This series is dedicated to the myriad books I've read that got me hooked on the written word.  Who knows, maybe it will spark an interest in you!

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived.

According to an October 2012 article published in Smithsonian magazine, Twain named his fictional character after a San Francisco fireman whom he met in June 1863. The real Tom Sawyer was a local hero, famous for rescuing 90 passengers after a shipwreck. The two remained friendly during Twain's three-year stay in San Francisco, often drinking and gambling together.
