This week is Mark Twain time with "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."  This was the short story that made Mark Twain famous.

Gwen Moffat had a full life in Wales as a trail guide and later a book writer.  She first wrote about trails, then about crime.  Her publisher invited Gwen to come to America and follow the trail of the wagon trains.  She did this in a four wheel drive and mostly by herself.  Hear her take on South Pass and Yellowstone as read by Ruth.

Ruth reads three Nebraska Indian stories from the 1700's before the settlers came.  These stories show the humor of the Native Americans as well as their being part of nature.  "The Fox," "Flint Chief," and "Dog" are the tales told.  Well worth the hearing.

And it's all about Mark Twain from his book "The Autobiography of Mark Twain."  Ruth reads about Twain's efforts to publish in the late 1860s.  It wasn't easy, but it's Twain so  there is a lot of fun.

Ruth reads from "The Wizard of Oz."  The first two chapters cover the one room house on the Kansas prairie and other differences from the movie of the 1930s.  It's fun to hear how the story was originally.  It's a good listen.

Show #59.  Ruth reads from "The Autobiography of Mark Twain."  She reads the chapter on Dueling and how Twain got out of being killed.  Very funny as we can expect from Twain.
