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. David C.
