Twain, Mark [Samuel Langhorne Clemens]
Roughing It
American Publishing Company, Hartford, in 1872, this is a cherished First Edition of one of Twain's most celebrated works. With 591 pages in an 8vo format, the book boasts two exquisite engraved frontispieces, six text plates, and is adorned with numerous engravings throughout. The copy shows signs of its age with a few bumps, dings, and some edgewear, but it stands proud with a tight binding and a light stain on the foredge.
"Roughing It" chronicles Twain's semi-autobiographical adventures in the Wild West between 1861-1867, from his brief enlistment as a Confederate cavalry militiaman to his forays into gold and silver prospecting and his nascent days as a writer. Serving as a prequel to his earlier work "Innocents Abroad", the book paints a vivid picture of Twain's escapades, capturing his characteristic wit, humor, and astute observations. An integral part of American literary heritage, this edition is a must-have for serious collectors of Twain, aficionados of American humor, and enthusiasts of classic travel literature.
