Well, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' by Erich Maria Remarque is also a strong contender. It showed the brutal and senseless nature of World War I in a very modern way. It focused on the soldiers' experiences, their disillusionment, and the horror of war, which was a departure from previous war literature.

Another one might be 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy. Although it was set in the Napoleonic Wars, it was a very comprehensive and modern - for its time - exploration of war. It delved into the lives of the characters involved in the war, both on the battlefield and at home, and showed the wide - reaching impacts of war on society.

Definitely Mark Twain's 'Tom Sawyer' is often thought of as a prime candidate. The time period when Twain was writing coincided with the increasing popularity of the typewriter. He was an adventurous writer in many ways, and using the typewriter was just one of his forays into new territory. While we can't be 100% certain, it's a very likely candidate. There may have been other lesser - known authors trying out the typewriter for their novels around the same time, but without as much historical documentation.
