About this book
In 1861, a 26-year-old Sam Clemens "went west" with his older brother Orion. By that time he'd had some experience with publishing his thoughts in local newspapers and was beginning to collect and tell stories. Orion sent him to work a silver mine that he and Calvin Higbie owned. This Saturday Evening Post article, dated September 11, 1920, paints a vivid picture of the young, soon-to-be-famous author, through the eyes of his new friend and fellow silver miner, Higbie. - Summary by John Greenman
