Description

Rough miners raise an orphaned infant in Roaring Camp, and Harte?s other Gold Rush tales follow gamblers, outcasts, and soft hearts in hard places. Spoken as western short fiction with irony and feeling in the same breath.

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.
