This book tells of Twain's adventures prior to his pleasure cruise related in Innocents Abroad.</p><p>"This book is merely a personal narrative, and not a pretentious history or a philosophical dissertation. It is a record of several years of variegated vagabondizing, and its object is rather to help the resting reader while away an idle hour than afflict him with metaphysics, or goad him with science. Still, there is information in the volume . . ." Thus begins Mark Twain's Prefatory to Roughing It.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Mark Twain<br><b>Publisher:</b> Aegypan<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 376<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.52lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781598184457<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 9.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 30<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>60044 / Roughing It<br>
