"This book's time span is from the fall of 1863, when Twain began frequently making the coach trip from Virginia City down to San Francisco and contributing to San Francisco journals, to December, 1866 when he left the city to embark on the voyages out of which he would make The Innocents Abroad." The editor's purpose was "to present here simply the voice of Twain as it was to be heard at a particular time and a particular place."--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
