Description

Poker Flat throws out its unwanted, and a mountain storm decides what kind of people they really are. Gamblers, miners, and hard luck fill the other tales too. Spoken as western story with pity and iron 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.
