Description

At Heavy Tree Hill, Barker, Stacy, and Demorest strike it rich together, then learn how fast fortune can sour friendship. Jealousy, women, and the pull of easy money start to pry the partnership apart, while Steptoe brings danger that gold alone cannot buy off. Bret Harte?s western of loyalty under pressure: three partners, one claim, and the human folly that follows when the dirt finally pays.

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.
