Stormfield:
When Samuel Clemens- or Mark Twain, if you prefer the pen name- moved to his new, Italian style villa in redding in 1908, he had previously seen neither the villa nor the town. According to the local historian Charles Burr Todd, Clemens had purchased his 228 acres as an investment and did not internd to build here himself. But after the author's daughter, Clara Clemens, came to look over the property and "was enchanted with its beauty," Clemens changed his mind.
