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: This is a somewhat fictional story about Twain's own life, as he journeys to California from the Nevada territory. He visits the Hawai'i, but back then, they call them the Sandwich Islands. The journey is a real life trip that Twain made, but the events and characters involve elements of fiction. The protagonist decides to move to Nevada with his brother, claiming he has secured a new job as the secretary for the governor. The truth is he is going to look for gold. They make it to Carson, where the protagonist immediately acquaints himself with miners, who give him a few tools and take him on some preliminary claims, but they pan for gold and find nothing. When the days turn to weeks, and the weeks to months, and there's still no sign of gold, the man decides to take a job in Virginia. He cannot forget the West, though, and after a few more years, he moves to San Francisco, California. There is no gold for the man in California. The protagonist (presumably Twain himself) decides that instead of wasting his life looking for gold, he will finally try to use his greatest skill in life, his ability to spin a clever tale, and his uncanny ability to write well.
