First, Limited Edition. 18mo, [7] pages, printed brown wrappers Inscribed by Meine to Stanley on the title-page (probably Stanley Pargellis, Librarian of the Newberry Library). "This beautiful bit of bombast is the best I have found in many years of digging in American humor. . Riley's speech has several points of interest to Mark Twain enthusiasts. . It is a pyrotechnical display of colorful words, phrases and idioms, so important in the Mark Twain lexicon; and it is a speech which one might well expect to find in the oratorical repertoire of Col. Mulberry Sellers in the 'Gilded Age.' " - Foreword. This appears to be a speech connected to the possible secession of Missouri under its new, Southern-sympathizing governor ( Missouri had two competing state governments, each sending representatives to the Union or the Confederacy). Meine's thousands of items of American humor collection is held by the University of Illinois - Urbana. One of 300 copies, originally sold for ten cents. Includes one pencilled correction.

"Roughing It is a book of semi-autobiographical travel literature written by American humorist Mark Twain. It was written during 1870 - 71 and published in 1872 as a prequel to his first book Innocents Abroad. This book tells of Twain's adventures prior to his pleasure cruise related in Innocents Abroad. Roughing It follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861 - 1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman, he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the novel. Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, and his beginnings as a writer. In this memoir, readers can see examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which would become a staple of his writing in his later books, such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. U.S. astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell read "Roughing It" aloud to pass the time aboard NASA's Gemini VII, a 14-day-long Earth orbital mission in December 1965. Borman recalls reading the book during an on-camera interview in the 1999 PBS-TV (USA) television program "Nova: To the Moon". Signed by illustrator.
