... the note with the article wants reliable sources. I suppose that being mentioned in "Roughing It" as "a young lawyer" who went on a prospecting trip to Humboldt with Mark Twain cannot be considered reliable since the entire book is admittedly full of lies and tall tales, with occasional true facts. Nevertheless, in Chapter XXVII, Twain writes, "Young Clagett (now member of Congress from Montana) unharnessed and watered and fed the horses[.]" The entire trip consumes a few chapters of the book, and if there are more facts about Clagett, perhaps they are more interesting ones. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 03:18, 25 October 2015 (UTC) EricReply
