If you read only one book about life on the wild frontier, it should be Mark Twain's Roughing It, an authentic American narrative that's as fresh today as it was in 1872 when it was first published. Beginning with his stagecoach trip to the Nevada Territory, Twain recounts his adventures of six years in the mining camps and frontier boomtowns of the west. Roughing It is available new and used in many editions, including an e-book.
