In what year did Mark Twain die?

Mark Twain died in 1910. He died on April 21, 1910, at Stormfield, his home near Redding, Connecticut, at the age of 74.

Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, Twain spent his final years as an internationally celebrated author, lecturer, and public figure. His major works included The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. He also endured serious financial losses and the deaths of several family members during his later life.

Twain's death is often linked to Halley's Comet. He was born shortly after the comet's 1835 appearance and famously predicted that he would die when it returned. Halley's Comet reached perihelion in April 1910, just one day before Twain's death, making the coincidence one of the most memorable details of his biography.

Twain was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira, New York, alongside members of his family. His lifespan, 1835–1910, is frequently used to distinguish him from later American writers who were influenced by his work.
