Which American writer was born and died in the same years that Halley's Comet appeared?

While this is the fourth question on this, it's always nice to get something right!

love the works of Mark Twain love the imagery of a bygone era. would have loved living back then in a simpler time!

I share his birthday and am a writer, too. Attended the Mark Twain Writer's Conference in Hannibal MO years ago.

sneaky using his real name

good info

I love questions that were asked before

Nerak 7, I agree …. He was one of the best self taught authors…. And he get criticized because of the language he used when he wrote… well that was the only language of that time.. people have to take that into consideration.. he had the highest respect for all people

Wonderful person. To think he quit at 12 years old because his father passed and he went to work with his older brother operating a printing press for a newspaper and he wrote stories under a different name .. he taught himself and learned so much from the people around him. I wish they would show more of his stories on TV

Player #120374466, I saw it in '86 with the naked eye and a telescope. Very cool.

LoverNotAFighter, you don't know Mark Twain if you don't know is real name.

The next Halley's comet will be in 2060. Will you be there?

Gary, not so sure was so “Simple”

even in a star trek next generation episode they used Mark trains character. ama@ing writer and speech giver. he was curious about science and traveled a lot.

never gave a thought. 👍🏾🤔

there is a LOT of Twain trivia here.. nothing wrong with that! he was a brilliant American

I have an original Mark Twain book. I love anything by Samuel Clemens. Debby

I knew it was Mark Twain, but didn't see his name, so I guessed wrong.
