Summary

Roughing It is a book of semi-autobiographical travel literature written by American humorist Mark Twain. He published in 1872 as a prequel to his first book, The Innocents Abroad.

Roughing It is the hilarious record of those early years traveling from Nevada to California to Hawaii, as Twain tried his luck at anything and everything--and usually failed. Twain's encounters with tarantulas and donkeys, vigilantes and volcanoes, even Brigham Young, the Mormon leader, come to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales

Brilliant narration and interesting tales

This is very Mark Twain ... wandering off down narrative alleys and telling tall tales. At times it drags a little, but the narration is always superb. Fascinating insight into Nevada and Hawaii history.
