Leben auf dem Mississippi / Nach dem fernen Westen

Mark Twain

This combined volume brings together two autobiographical travel narratives by Mark Twain. “Life on the Mississippi” recalls his childhood, training as a steamboat pilot, and later return to a changed river. “To the Far West” follows his stagecoach journey with his brother across the plains, Salt Lake City, and the Rocky Mountains toward Nevada, blending history, observation, and dry humor.
