Description:
Mark Twain weaves a story of epic adventure in Roughing It, a classic tale about the American West during the gold rush. In a speech delivered at his daughter's graduation, Twain (a.k.a. Samuel Clemens, played by James Garner) vividly recalls his travels to the American West in search of gold and his own destiny. He relates his encounters with obsession, legend, love, instinct, danger, luck, and hard work--experiences that encouraged his maturation, but did seemingly little to acquaint him with his destiny. Instead, Twain asserts that chance is a common catalyst in the "mysterious adventure of life" and points to just such a chance occurrence as the pivotal moment in his own life. Mark Twain's Roughing It is Southern storytelling at its best--this miniseries skillfully preserves Twain's distinctive tone and style and will keep you entertained throughout its four-hour running time. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
