Outcroppings: Being Selections Of California Verse is a book of poetry compiled and edited by Bret Harte, originally published in 1866. The collection features poems written by various California-based poets, including Harte himself. The poems explore themes such as the beauty of California’s landscape, the struggles of its inhabitants, and the unique culture of the region. Many of the poems also reflect the influence of the Gold Rush and the rapid growth and development of the state during the mid-19th century. Overall, Outcroppings offers a fascinating glimpse into the literary and cultural history of California during a pivotal moment in its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
