Sobre IBD

The novella 'Devil’s Ford' was created by American poet and writer Bret Harte and first released in 1863. The Gold Rush era takes place in the made-up California hamlet of Devil’s Ford, where the story is set. The town’s rich gold resource is distxtered, and this triggers a sudden flood of fortune seekers and a swift alteration of the local community. A miner named Roaring Camp serves as the main character. After her companion, Cherokee, passes away, she takes in a pregnant woman named Cherokee Sal. The arrival of a kid tempers the harsh environment of the mining camp, and Sal gives birth to a boy. While the community experiences prosperity due to the gold from Devil’s Ford, it also draws the attention of dishonest people who are looking to make a lot of money. The story looks at issues of morality, greed, and the effects of unexpected fortune on individuals and groups. The plot twists and turns as the characters encounter difficulties and make decisions that expose their actual selves.
