Summary

A marvelously vivid, many-sided portrait of America’s frontier days.

Mark Twain’s rambling took him all over the American West during the 1860’s. He prospected for gold and silver, speculated on timber and mining stocks, sailed to Hawaii, and worked for a succession of small newspapers. In Roughing It, his fictionalized account of these years, tall tales abound, as do sketches of unforgettable characters—desperadoes, vigilantes, newspapermen, Mormons, and prospectors.
