Roughing It, Part 6. by Mark Twain

"Roughing It, Part 6." 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, when he joined his brother on a stagecoach journey to Nevada Territory. The narrative captures gold prospecting, real-estate speculation, a visit to Salt Lake City, travels to Hawaii, and Twain's early career as a writer, all told with his signature rough-hewn humor that would define his later masterpieces.
