Mark Twain's  Virginia City, NT.

MARK TWAIN'S VIRGINIA CITY: Nevada Territory in the 1860s. MARK TWAIN'S VIRGINIA CITY: Nevada Territory in the 1860s.

by Mark Twain. (Samuel Clemens). Mark Twain portrait

Here are the famous humorist's adventures in and around early Virginia City, Nevada Territory (now Nevada state). There are silver mining, speculation in silver mines, work in a quartz mill. A trip to Lake Tahoe to secure a timber empire resulted mainly in starting a forest fire. There was the search for the Lost Cement Mine, and, finally, reporting for "The Territorial Enterprise", Virginia City's rollicking newspaper that reported the episodes of riches and murders rampant in this important Western mining center. The writings here were first published in 1872 in "Roughing It", but we have pulled from the larger work just episodes on Virginia City in order to maintain that as a focus. Read these Twain anecdotes for fun, but, remember, too, that these incidents really happened, and that the principals were often in dead earnest; it just took Twain's insights to show the satirical side of human nature. Illustrations are from the original book and other sources. 64 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches. See sample pages
