R. Kent Rasmussen has written/edited nine books on Mark Twain. Rasmussen holds a PhD in history from UCLA, has taught college, and worked for many years as an editor. Rasmussen is probably best known for his award-winning reference book, Mark Twain A to Z, which Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan called their “Bible” while they were producing their 2002 PBS documentary on Twain.
