Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain asserted that his literary hybrid Roughing It was nothing more than a simple personal narrative, absent any intent to present that account as history or philosophy. Well, Mark Twain said a lot of things, some of them not to be trusted. In fact, Roughing It was more than a mere personal memoir: it helped to situated the mythology of American Frontier in the minds of those who would never get any closer to it than picking up the occasional book.Roughing It is actually two stories combined. The first charts the path taking by Twain westward to make his fortune. Along the way, of course, were many setbacks and business failures. The second half the book could not be possible, however, unless he had finally found his fortune because the latter part of the book essentially asks the question that is almost never asked of someone setting out to make their fortune: What are you going to do with it when you make it?The answer really lies in the volume one holds when reading Twain's version. What he did was transform from Samuel Clemens into Mark Twain, and the rest of his life was spent marketing that product. Part of that marketing was Roughing It which as a personal narrative offers a unique perspective into the transformation of the West from rugged frontier to land of myth. Who better to give an accurately ironic account of the Brigham Young's determination to build a Mormon empire? For that matter, what other writer could possibly add anything to the stereotypical image of prospecting for gold in Nevada and California. It takes a genius of Twain's caliber to see beyond the conventional portrayal of surface effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eager young Twain travels West with his brother, the new Secretary of Nevada Territory. Twain will serve as his brother's personal secretary. They travel up the Missouri River from St. Louis to St. Joseph, where their stagecoach will depart. The men must leave behind a few luxury items of clothing, since their baggage is overweight, but both take along guns. They meet fellow passenger George Bemis, and the trip begins. The coach breaks down due to the weight, so half of the mail is left by the side of the road for another coach to pick up, and they continue on their way. The men sleep atop the mail sacks, bounced around but content enough.The coach passes through Overland City, a frontier town, and continues onward, but their wagon breaks down the next day. The passengers go on a buffalo hunt while the wagon is being repaired, and Bemis gets chased up a tree by a wounded buffalo. Later along the route, they excitedly witness a Pony Express rider race by, encounter their first alkali water (poisonous surface water that contains salts and sediments), and pass the site of a former Indian robbery and massacre. One night, bandits attack the coach and kill the driver, but the conductor gets the passengers to the safety of the next station. Twain also hears for the first time of Slade, a murderous outlaw who is now a ruthlessly effective division agent for the stagecoach company. Slade has a feud with the former agent, Mr. Jules, and eventually kills him in a cruel fashion. Slade is later hanged for other crimes in Montana, where he cries and pleads in vain to see his loving wife before death.
