Horace Ezra Bixby
Horace Ezra Bixby (May 8, 1826 - August 1, 1912) was a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio river system from the late 1840s until his death in 1912. Bixby is notable in his own right for his high standing in his profession, for his technical contributions to it, and for his service in the American Civil War. However, he is best known for having had as his "cub pilot" (that is, apprentice or trainee) the young man known to him as Sam Clemens, later to become famous under his pen name as American author Mark Twain. Twain's descriptions of Bixby's character and pedagogic style form a good part of his memoir ''Life on the Mississippi'', and it was through this medium that Bixby—much to his annoyance—became well-known beyond the circles of his family, friends and profession.
==Early life==
Horace Bixby was born in Geneseo, New York, a town near Rochester in the Finger Lakes region of New York, on 8 May 1826, to Sylvanus and Hanna Bixby. While still in his teens, he left home and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio where he first worked in a tailor's shop, and then became a mud clerk on the packet boat ''Olivia''. Within two years, he had become the ''Olivias pilot.
