Publisher's Synopsis

Openings In The Old Trail is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte. The book is set in the American West during the 19th century and explores the lives of various characters who are struggling to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Each story is unique and offers a different perspective on life in the West, from the perspective of cowboys, miners, and other settlers. The themes of the book include love, loss, redemption, and the struggle for survival in a world that is constantly changing. Harte's writing is known for its vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters that inhabit it, and this book is no exception. Openings In The Old Trail is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or in the work of one of the greatest writers of the 19th century.""A miser, as sure as you're born!"" said Wyngate, with optimistic decision. ""That's always the way. You'll find every crack of that blessed old shed stuck full of greenbacks and certificates of deposit, and lots of gold dust and coin buried all over that cow patch! And of course no one suspected it! And of course he lived alone, and never let any one get into his house--and nearly starved himself! Lord love you! There's hundreds of such cases. The world is full of 'em!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
