In this twenty-month period he wrote most of his work for the San Francisco \u003ci\u003eGolden Era\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eMorning Call\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eDramatic Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eCalifornian\u003c\/i\u003e. He began to publish somewhat more regularly in eastern journals, like the \u003ci\u003eNew York Saturday Press\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eWeekly Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and toward the end of the period he started a long assignment as the daily correspondent from San Francisco to the Virginia City \u003ci\u003eTerritorial Enterprise\u003c\/i\u003e. In November 1865 he published \"Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog\" [no. 119] and by the beginning of 1866 the news of its success with eastern readers had begun to filter back to California. He was on the verge of national and international fame as a humorist.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274785992955,"sku":"9780520043824","price":78.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_a3e613be-88be-4227-832b-18d1b2e32634.jpg?v=1774533254","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/early-tales-and-sketches-volume-2-9780520043824","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
