<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Six of the great American storyteller's best tales: The Outcasts of Poker Flat, Tennessee's Partner, M'liss, A Protégée of Jack Hamlin's, An Ingénue of the Sierras, and the title tale. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 1870, the young San Francisco-based writer and editor Bret Harte (1836-1902) first compiled a single-volume edition of his rousing stories of life in the Wild West. Entitled <i>The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches, </i> the book propelled him almost overnight from local celebrity to American literary lion. Four of the most famous of those tales are included in this collection: the title story, The Outcasts of Poker Flat, Tennessee's Partner, and M'liss.<br>Additional selections include A Protégée of Jack Hamlin and An Ingénue of the Sierras, both written later in Harte's life and featuring lively casts of colorful characters in settings ranging from a stagecoach to a Sacramento River steamer. They display the author's enthralling storytelling style at full strength ― crisply observant, rich in ironic humor, and offering an engaging mix of sentiment and wit. Harte's style exercised a deep influence on the American short story genre and set a future course for writers of Western fiction, including Owen Wister and Zane Grey.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>American journalist and author Bret Harte (1836-1902) is best known for his short stories, particularly those set during the days of the California Gold Rush.
