Mark Twain died on his birthday when Halley’s Comet came back. He was born on Halley’s Comet. He had always wanted to be a steamboat pilot when he was a boy. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are based on his life. He made his family bankrupt. He had to persevere to earn enough money to pay his property taxes so that his family could keep their home. He was a good writer.
This book was very helpful and gave a lot of good info about Mark Twain.
