About this listen

 In 1861, 26-year-old Sam Clemens embarked on a journey westward alongside his older brother Orion. With a budding talent for storytelling and some experience in publishing his thoughts in local newspapers, Sam was ready for new adventures. Orion had him work at a silver mine they co-owned with Calvin Higbie. This captivating article from the Saturday Evening Post, dated September 11, 1920, offers a vivid glimpse into the life of the young, soon-to-be-famous author, as seen through the eyes of his newfound friend and fellow miner, Higbie. - Summary by John Greenman
