The reality is he is going to search for gold. They make it to Carson, where the protagonist right away acquaints himself with miners, who give him a few tools and take him on some preliminary claims, but they pan for gold and discover not anything.

He can not forget the West, although, and after a few greater years, he moves to San Francisco, California.

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: "The celebrated author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn mixes fact and fiction in a rousing travelogue that serves as "a portrait of the artist as a young adventurer."* In 1861, young Mark Twain found himself adrift as a newcomer in the Wild West, working as a civil servant, silver prospector, mill worker, and finally a reporter and traveling lecturer. 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."
