Bret Harte began his writing career as a journalist, poet, and short story writer in California, documenting the facts and fictions of the gold rush days. His reputation as a leading nineteenth century American man of letters was firmly established by the publication of his immensely successful collection, The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Sketches (1870). His career took him eastwards in later life and he eventually died in England in 1902. Additional shipping charges may apply
