Description

Mulrady digs for water and strikes gold under the cabbages. Harte’s Rough-and-Ready: a wife’s airs, a daughter toward the Alvarados, the camp siege of a new claim — and Slinn, the broken prospector with a prior right in his lost memory. Spoken Gold Country comedy: fortune as a social earthquake, conscience as the last unpaid bill.

Author

Bret Harte (1836–1902) gave American literature one of its first great regional voices — the Gold Rush West rendered in short stories of luck, loyalty, and moral surprise. He saw California not as empty wilderness but as a theatre of human character: outcasts who discover dignity, camps that become temporary homes, and sentiment that arrives when least expected.
