Storyline:
Samuel Clemens arrives in Virginia City to write for the Territorial Enterprise. His stories are humorous, but when he writes about a wild man found on the Ponderosa, the ranch is overrun with the curious. Adam finds "Josh," Clemens' pen name, and orders him to retract the story. The retraction is actually a story about the wild man dying and sinking to the bottom of Lake Tahoe. The Cartwrights are not amused.

Reviews:
"In this episode from the first season of Bonanza the fictional Cartwrights meet up with a young writer named Samuel Langhorne Clemens who did in fact spend some time in Virginia City during the Comstock Lode silver rush. It is here we learn how Clemens who had been using the pen name of Josh got to find the name that he became immortal with.

Howard Duff guest stars as Clemens and he's writing for the Territorial Enterprise and decides to also do some investigative reporting. Edmon Ryan is a ruthless railroad executive who is looking to grab off chunks of the Ponderosa for the line, something the Cartwrights just won't allow. Ryan's bought the territorial judge though in the person of John Litel who has a wife in Dorothy Green, but he's also up for re-election at the time as it turns out."
