A thoughly enjoyable view of the frontier west, and introduction to an emerging genius of American writing. Twain is well informed, honest, and surprisingly prudish is his role as storyteller, but always intent on keeping his reader interested. Good Read!

A little to autobiographical for my taste, but still a classic
