The dialect used in both stories indicates that the setting must be somewhere in the “Wild West”. For example‚ in Twain’s story‚ Simon Wheeler is telling the narrator tall tales about some fellow named Jim Smiley and his tone tells you exactly the type of man he is: somewhat unintelligent compared to the narrator.
