Mark Twain's Nevada Cabin To be Preserved in Reno Park
Reno, Nev., Oct. 22. The cabin in which Mark Twain (Sam Clemens) lived for a time at Aurora, Nev., is to be brought to Reno and placed in one of the parks. The cabin is situated on the property of George Wingfield, mining magnate, who is preparing to transfer title to it and its furnishings.
The abode is much as Mark Twain left it when he deserted the west for the east. The stove on which he cooked, though a trifle antiquated, is still in its place, and the wooden bunk on which the famous author reclined when he thought out some of his western tales is intact.
It was in this cabin that he wrote "Roughing It" and many other stories that carried the tang of Nevada.
