Depending upon your connection speed, it may take a minute or so to download
the 2.1 MB file. The file should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader if you have it
installed on your computer.

Our goal in writing this book is to lay a factual foundation that allows
Mark Twain scholars and enthusiasts to interpret fully and correctly Clemens
’ and Twain’s experiences at Lake Tahoe and nearby places. The book occurs
at the rare intersection of history, science and literature. Using our
unique knowledge of Lake Tahoe history and natural science, we are able to
debunk in Chapter 8 many of the long-standing myths about Clemens and Twain
at Lake Tahoe.

We hope you enjoy reading this book excerpt and welcome your comments and
questions.
