In 1861, young Mark Twain found himself adrift as a tenderfoot in the Wild West. Roughing It is a hilarious record of his travels over a six-year period that comes to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales. Twain reflects on his scuffling years mining silver in Nevada, working at a Virginia City newspaper, being downandout in San Francisco, reporting for a newspaper from Hawaii, and more.

A piece of real American History
Revisado: 09-27-12
I can't imagine a more delightful way to learn about the American West of the 1860's. Twain lived it; he wrote about it with easy wit and great insight. On his trip he passed through Mormon Salt Lake City while polygamy was still practiced; he was in Nevada when fabulous amounts of silver and gold were being dug out of the mountains; and went through the coldest winter of his life--the summer in San Francisco.

As recently as 11,000 years ago - "near time" to geologists - mammoths, mastodons, gomphotheres, ground sloths, giant armadillos, native camels and horses, the dire wolf, and many other large mammals roamed North America. In what has become one of science's greatest riddles, these large animals vanished in North and South America around the time humans arrived at the end of the last great ice age.

Interesting science and a fascinating idea

Where does Twilight of the Mammoths rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is among the best. It is a carefully narrated account with lots of information supporting the author's thesis that man lay behind the extinction of the mammoths. He also presents a novel approach to restoring some of the missing fauna.
