Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
6 of the great American storyteller’s best, including 'The Outcasts of Poker Flat,' 'Tennessee’s Partner,' 'M’liss,' 'A Protégée of Jack Hamlin’s' and 'An Ingénue of the Sierras.' Crisply observant, rich in ironic humor, an engaging mix of sentiment and wit, these enthralling tales deeply influenced the American short story, and set a future course for writers of 'Western' fiction from Owen Wister to Zane Grey.

Harte's stories are written with the underdog as the central characters. In "The Luck of Roaring Camp" there is a most motley crew of characters. They all seem to be down and out, or on hard times.
When a baby is born in camp, and it's mother dies... the young one brings luck to the camp.
Harte's language and characterizations are pure old west. If you enjoy westerns this book is for you. The ironic humour and down and out characters make for entertaining reading.

Harte's capacity to capture the sense of humanity beneath often typecast characters, deliver an emotional punch ending, and capture the reader's mind's eye with fluid imagery is astounding. Every piece in here is gold...now RUSH and order this book. (pa-da-ching)
