Bret Harte: 420 books

An intricate tale of relationships and deception. The fast-paced and action-packed narrative keeps the readers on their toes. With in-depth characterization and religious overtones this is a unique work by Harte.

Harte—who once rode shotgun on a stagecoach—knew the prospectors, gamblers, and gold-hearted frontier gals who won the West. The collection of treasures, published in 1896 includes “A Blue Grass Penelope,” “Left Out on Lone Star Mountain,” “A Ship of ’49,” “An Apostle of the Tules,” “Devil’s Ford,” and “A Secret of Telegraph Hill.”

A sensitive novel by Harte based on the central character of Maruja. The writer has beautifully portrayed feelings and emotions of the young girl. He also has brilliantly described the human relations and feelings of individuals towards each other. Tender and appealing!

Here are two of Harte’s finest, from 1886 and 1887. First, a gardener for a small mining settlement is the one to strike it rich. Next, a small mining town in Devil’s Spur grows too quickly for the older inhabitants to bear.

This classic western novel begins on a dark night in the west. Three pioneers on horseback are on the trail to riches—the rush for gold and silver in the California mountains. Brett Harte’s cowboy prose relates the story of this group of rough silver-seekers as they try to find the legendary treasure.

Fans of high-quality Western tales will cherish this collection from the renowned chronicler of California's misfits, outcasts, and rebels. Several of the stories collected resurrect some of Harte's most popular characters; widely reviled blowhard Colonel Starbottle is featured in "What Happened at the Fonda," and grizzled stage driver Yuba Bill shows up in "A Niece of Snapshot Harry's."

Harte—who once rode shotgun on a stagecoach—knew the prospectors, gamblers, and gold-hearted frontier gals who won the West personally. Here are three novellas about the American West by one of the country’s first literary superstars: “At the Mission of San Carmel,” “A Blue Grass Penelope,” and “Left Out on Lone Star Mountain.”

There was commotion in Roaring Camp. It could not have been a fight, for in 1850 that was not novel enough to have called together the entire settlement. The ditches and claims were not only deserted, but "Tuttle's grocery" had contributed its gamblers, who, it will be remembered, calmly...

The short-story commenced its career as a verbal utterance, or, as Robert Louis Stevenson puts it, with the first men who told their stories round the savage camp-fire.
