Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughing_It Produced by David Widger "Roughing It, Part 4" by Mark Twain is a travel narrative written during the late 19th century. Part of Twain's semi-autobiographical account, the book chronicles his experiences in the American West, particularly focusing on the comical and adventurous aspects of his time there. The narrative captures the exuberant life of a prospector and traveler, marked by his encounters with an array of eccentric characters and the often absurd circumstances that arise in frontier life. In this section, Mark Twain recounts a particularly chaotic time at an inn where he and his companions find themselves during a flood. The various personalities in the inn create a tumultuous atmosphere, especially a drunken bully named "Arkansas" who terrorizes the landlord and guests alike. Twain humorously depicts a series of events leading to a dramatic confrontation that culminates when the landlord's wife intervenes, effectively shaming Arkansas and restoring order. As the group attempts to escape the inn, they face challenges, including getting lost in the snow while trying to leave. The narrative reflects Twain’s characteristic wit and observational humor, painting a vivid picture of the hardships and hilarities of life in the untamed West.
