''Openings In The Old Trail'' is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet who is best known for his stories set in the American West. The book was first published in 1899 and contains ten stories that explore themes of love, loss, and redemption in the rugged and unforgiving landscape of the Old West.The stories in the collection are all linked by the common thread of the trail, which serves as a metaphor for the journey of life. Each story features a character who is on a journey of some kind, whether it be a physical journey across the frontier or an emotional journey through the trials and tribulations of life.The characters in the stories are varied and complex, ranging from cowboys and miners to gamblers and outlaws. Through their struggles and triumphs, Harte paints a vivid picture of life in the Wild West, capturing the spirit of the time and the people who lived it.Overall, ''Openings In The Old Trail'' is a captivating and thought-provoking collection of stories that offers a unique perspective on the American West. With its rich characters and evocative setting, it is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Old West.''A miser, as sure as you’re born!'' said Wyngate, with optimistic decision. ''That’s always the way. You’ll find every crack of that blessed old shed stuck full of greenbacks and certificates of deposit, and lots of gold dust and coin buried all over that cow patch! And of course no one suspected it! And of course he lived alone, and never let any one get into his house--and nearly starved himself! Lord love you! There’s hundreds of such cases. The world is full of ’em!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
