NO. 138 MARK TWAIN CABIN - This is a replica of Mark Twain's cabin, with original chimney and fireplace. Here on Jackass Hill, young Mark Twain, while guest of the Gillis Brothers in 1864-65, gathered material for The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, which first brought him fame, and for Roughing It.
This is one of three plaques for the Mark Twains Cabin. One plaque is at the cabin itself. The other two are on CA State Highway 49 and indicate that the cabin is one mile away from those plaques. This is the plaque at the cabin.
