Publisher's Synopsis

The Luck Of Roaring Camp And Other Sketches is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet. The book was first published in 1870 and has since become a classic in American literature. The title story, The Luck Of Roaring Camp, is a heartwarming tale about a group of rough miners who find redemption and hope when a baby is born in their midst. Other stories in the collection include Tennessee's Partner, a story about loyalty and sacrifice, and Miggles, a story about a woman who defies societal norms and expectations. Harte's writing is known for its vivid descriptions of the American West during the Gold Rush era, as well as its sympathetic portrayal of the people who lived and worked there. His stories often explore themes of love, loss, and the struggle to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Overall, The Luck Of Roaring Camp And Other Sketches is a timeless collection of stories that captures the spirit of the American West and the people who lived there. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature or the history of the American West.THIS 84 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Luck Of Roaring Camp; In The Carquinez Woods And Other Stories, by Bret Harte.
