Roughing It (Signet Classics)

by Mark Twain

Roughing It (Signet Classics) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Mark Twain's semi-autobiographical travel memoir, Roughing It was written between 1870-1871 and subsequently published in 1872. Billed as a prequel to Innocents Abroad, in which Twain details his travels aboard a pleasure cruise, Roughing It documents Twain's early days in the old wild west between the years 1861-1867.

Synopsis:

A classic tour of the wild west

In 1861, young Mark Twain found himself adrift as a tenderfoot in the Wild Westaand Roughing It is his hilarious record of his travels come to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales.
