Mark Twain found himself adrift as a tenderfoot in the Wild West—and Roughing It is his hilarious record of his travels come to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales. Twain's humorous account of his six years in Nevada, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands is a patchwork of personal anecdotes and stories, many of them told in the "vigorous new vernacular" of the West.
