Roughing It

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.
