"Roughing It, Part 3" by Mark Twain is a captivating autobiographical travel story that takes place in the American West during the exciting silver rush days, painting a picture of his younger years chasing after adventure and wealth in Nevada; Twain introduces the reader to Carson City, sharing snapshots of the landscape and the oddball locals residing in this dusty capital, and recounts funny stories like a mix-up that involves firing guns, but also shows how he fits into the group of miners who are all dreaming of becoming rich, although Twain makes it clear the real world of the frontier is a lot harder.
