The Adventures of Mark Twain in Nevada — Stephen H. Provost

Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain during his time in Nevada and went on many adventures in the Silver State. This book for young children introduces them to the life of America's most famous author with the story of how he came west. Kids can join him on his adventures as a lumberjack, prospector, journalist, and more. It's an exciting tale packed with illustrations that follows him on his journey to eventual success as an author with titles such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. A section at the end of the book features full-color photographs of what Twain's world looks like today.
