Description
"Roughing It, Part 8." by Mark Twain is part of a semi-autobiographical travel book written in 1870–71 and published in 1872. The work chronicles Twain's adventures through the American West from 1861–1867, including stagecoach travel, visits to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, and a journey to Hawaii. Blending memory with imagination, Twain captures his early experiences with the rough-hewn humor that would define his later literary career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
