About this listen
An American classic of wild humor and rugged adventure.
In Roughing It, Mark Twain recounts his real-life journey across the American West with wit, grit, and wide-eyed wonder. Originally published in 1872, this semi-autobiographical travelogue follows Twain as he joins his brother—appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory—on an epic overland stagecoach ride from Missouri to the frontier. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, from outlaws and prospectors to pioneers and desperados, all set against the backdrop of dusty deserts, fledgling mining towns, and gold rush chaos.
With his trademark sarcasm and sharp observational humor, Twain paints a vivid and comical portrait of life on the edge of civilization, celebrating both the absurdity and grandeur of the American frontier. Part memoir, part satire, Roughing It remains one of the most entertaining explorations of the Wild West ever written.
