Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835 at a time when Halley's comet was visible in the sky. He was reared in Hannibal, Missouri, and after his father's death when he was 11, Twain left home and worked as a writer in various east-coast cities before returning to Hannibal. He took a job as a riverboat pilot calling out "mark twain" when there were two fathoms of water beneath the boat, and thus, acquired his pen name.
"I have never let my schooling get in the way of my education." Mark Twain
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Twain joined his brother on a journey by stagecoach through the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains to Nevada, and chronicled those experiences in "Roughing It" published in 1872. Twain's ability to capture quintessentially American colloquial speech brought him fame, but it was the publication of his masterpiece in 1884, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," that ensured his reputation. Twain died on April 21, 1910 at a time when Halley's comet was again visible in the sky.
