"Roughing It, Part 7." by Mark Twain is a section of a semi-autobiographical travel book written in 1870–71 and published in 1872. The work chronicles Twain's adventures through the American West from 1861–1867, joining his brother on a stagecoach journey to Nevada Territory. From Salt Lake City visits to gold prospecting, real-estate speculation, and travels to Hawaii, Twain recounts his formative experiences with the rough-hewn humor that would define his later literary career.
