Synopsis

Book by Mark Twain

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is merely a personal narrative and not a prtr tentious history or a philosophical dissertation It is a record of several years of variegated vagabondizing, and its object is rather to help the rtinir reader while away an idle hour than afflict him with metaphysics, or goad him with science. Still, there is information in the volume; information concerning an interesting episode in the history of the Far West, about which no books have been written by persons who were on the ground in person, and saw the happenings of the time with their own eyes. I allude to the rise, growth and culmination of the silver-mining fever in Kevada a curious episode, an some respects; the only one, of its peculiar kind, that has occurred in tlie land; and the only one, indeed, that is likely to occur in it. Yes, take it all around, there is quite a good deal of information in the book. I regret this very much; but really it could not be helped: infomiation appears to stew out of me naturally, like the precious ottar of roses out of the otter. Sometimes it has seemed to me that I would give worlds if I could retain my facts; but it cannot be. The more I calk up the sources, and the tighter I get, the more I leak wisdom. Therefore, I can only claim indulgence at the hands of the reader, not justification. THE AUTHOR.
