Roughing It is a book of semi-autobiographical travel literature by Mark Twain. It was written in 1870-71 and published in 1872, as a prequel to his first travel book The Innocents Abroad. Roughing It is dedicated to Twain's mining companion Calvin H. Higbie, later a civil engineer who died in 1914.Personal growth is a generally present theme for Mark Twain as well. Demonstrating a desire for learning, he seeks to find nuggets of education at all levels of life. His fear of the inability to speak publicly and with confidence is overcome by the success that he achieves while delivering a lecture in San Francisco.
