Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In his youth Mark Twain found himself adrift as a tenderfoot in the Wild West, working in a variety of professions. This is a record, fact and impression, of those early years.

Synopsis:

Mark Twain's travels took him all over the American West in the 1860's. He prospected for gold and silver, was a travelling correspondent and speculated on mining stocks. This is a fictionalized account of his experiences of the frontier in its early days and the characters he encountered.
