    The sun was going down on the Black Spur Range.

Then the night wind swept down the whole mountain side, and began its usual s...

  • Openings in the Old Trail
    Bret Harte
    It was high hot noon on the Casket Ridge.

Occasionally, with a boy’s perversity, he permitted one bared foot to protrude beyond the sharply marked shadow u...

The heavy springless jolt of gun-carr...

    Bret Harte
    The American consul for Schlachtstadt had just turned out of the broad Konig’s Allee into the little square that held his consulate.

    Bret Harte
    It must be admitted that the civilizing processes of Rough and Ready were not marked by any of the ameliorating conditions of other improved camps.

But it was thought hard that, after a church was built and a new school erected...

    Bret Harte
    As night crept up from the valley that stormy afternoon, Sawyer’s Ledge was at first quite blotted out by wind and rain, but presently reappeared in little nebulous star-like points along the mountain side, as the straggling cabins of the settlement were one by one lit up by the miners returning from tunnel and claim. These stars were of varying brilliancy that evening, two not...
