Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roughing It This book is merely a personal narrative, and not a pro tentions history or a philosophical dissertation. It is a record of several years of variegated vagabondizing, and its object is rather to help the resting reader while away an idle hour than afflict him With metaphysics, or goad him With science. Still, there is information in the volume; information con cerning an interesting episode in the history of the Far West about Which no books have been written by persons Who were on the ground in person, and saw the happenings of the time with their own eyes. I allude to the rise, growth and culmina tion of the silver - mining fever in N evada - a curious episode, in some respects; the only one, of its peculiar kind, that has occurred in the land; and the only one, indeed, that is likely to occur in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughing It, Part 3. by Mark Twain We were approaching the end of our long journey. It was the morning of the twentieth day. At noon we would reach Carson City, the capital of Nevada Territory. We were not glad, but sorry. It had been a fine pleasure trip; we had fed fat on wonders every day; we were now well accustomed to stage life, and very fond of it; so the idea of coming to a stand-still and settling down to a humdrum existence in a village was not agreeable, but on the contrary depressing.

Book excerpt: Roughing It, Part 7. by Mark Twain One of my comrades there-another of those victims of eighteen years of unrequited toil and blighted hopes-was one of the gentlest spirits that ever bore its patient cross in a weary exile: grave and simple Dick Baker, pocket-miner of Dead-House Gulch.-He was forty-six, gray as a rat, earnest, thoughtful, slenderly educated, slouchily dressed and clay- soiled, but his heart was finer metal than any gold his shovel ever brought to light-than any, indeed, that ever was mined or minted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughing It, Part 1. by Mark Twain My brother had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory-an office of such majesty that it concentrated in itself the duties and dignities of Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Acting Governor in the Governor's absence. A salary of eighteen hundred dollars a year and the title of "Mr. Secretary," gave to the great position an air of wild and imposing grandeur. I was young and ignorant, and I envied my brother. I coveted his distinction and his financial splendor, but particularly and especially the long, strange journey he was going to make, and the curious new world he was going to explore. He was going to travel! I never had been away from home, and that word "travel" had a seductive charm for me. Pretty soon he would be hundreds and hundreds of miles away on the great plains and deserts, and among the mountains of the Far West, and would see buffaloes and Indians, and prairie dogs, and antelopes, and have all kinds of adventures, and may be get hanged or scalped, and have ever such a fine time, and write home and tell us all about it, and be a hero. And he would see the gold mines and the silver mines, and maybe go about of an afternoon when his work was done, and pick up two or three pailfuls of shining slugs, and nuggets of gold and silver on the hillside. And by and by he would become very rich, and return home by sea, and be able to talk as calmly about San Francisco and the ocean, and "the isthmus" as if it was nothing of any consequence to have seen those marvels face to face.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky's Love, or Roughing It Around Paris So said Spriggins, and even added, with a warning gesture, that the Saxons firmly believed that every stranger who arrived in that portion of the siege lines held by them had descended in a balloon from Paris, and therefore merited ignominious and immediate death. And when Spriggins said death, he gave a horrible gurgle, and made a crackling noise with his lips, which sounded much like the unwelcome arrival of a needle-gun bullet among the quivering tendons and sinews of some trembling victim. Allowing for exaggeration, the prospect was not engaging. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughing It, Part 5. by Mark Twain Captain Nye was very ill indeed, with spasmodic rheumatism. But the old gentleman was himself-which is to say, he was kind-hearted and agreeable when comfortable, but a singularly violent wild-cat when things did not go well. He would be smiling along pleasantly enough, when a sudden spasm of his disease would take him and he would go out of his smile into a perfect fury. He would groan and wail and howl with the anguish, and fill up the odd chinks with the most elaborate profanity that strong convictions and a fine fancy could contrive. With fair opportunity he could swear very well and handle his adjectives with considerable judgment; but when the spasm was on him it was painful to listen to him, he was so awkward. However, I had seen him nurse a sick man himself and put up patiently with the inconveniences of the situation, and consequently I was willing that he should have full license now that his own turn had come.

Download or read book Roughing It in the Bush written by Susanna Moodie and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told with wit, spontaneity, and candour, Susanna Moodie's account of life on a backwoods farm captures an important part of Canadian history, now available as a Penguin Modern Classic. Roughing It in the Bush chronicles Susanna Moodie's harsh and often humorous experiences homesteading in the woods of Upper Canada. She describes a life of backbreaking labour, poverty, and hardship on a pioneer farm in the colonial wilderness. Her sharp observations, satirical character sketches, and moments of despair and terror were a startling contrast to the widely circulated optimistic portrayals of life in British North America, written to entice readers across the Atlantic. A frank and fascinating account of how one woman coped, not only with a new world, but with a new self, this unabridged text continues to justify the international sensation it caused when it was first published in 1852.
