The Three Partners

By: Bret Harte

Francis Bret Harte (1836-1902) was a prolific American author and poet, best remembered for his accounts of pioneering life in California. The spirit of Dickens breathes through the poems and stories of Bret Harte just as the spirit of Bret Harte breathes through the poems and stories of Kipling.

Cressy

By: Bret Harte

The building which was assigned to him had been originally a church. It still bore a faded odor of sanctity, mingled, however, with a later and slightly alcoholic breath of political discussion, the result of its weekly occupation of the Board as a Tribune for the enunciation of party principles and devotion to the Liberties of the People.

A Phyllis of the Sierras

By: Bret Harte

Bret Harte's original fame rested upon his classic California Gold Rush tale, "The Luck of Roaring Camp." Four years after Harte's death, his former associate Mark Twain mocked his writing in his autobiography, saying that Harte was insincere, and that the dialect of "Roaring Camp" was never heard outside of that story. Yet at one point in time, Bret Harte was the highest-paid writer in America. "A Phyllis of the Sierras" was first published in 1888, and it is one of Harte's later writings. After failures in America, Harte traveled in Europe and eventually settled in London, where his work found more favor than it had in America. "A Phyllis of the Sierras" could be thought to be a "rustic" Western version of Henry James's transatlantic romances. Young British heir Frank Mainwaring encounters the Bradleys, a deceptively easygoing, yet charming California couple who've settled in the Sierras. Frank falls for Mrs. Bradley's attractive cousin Louise Macy; but his frail health and British manners cause all manner of confusion. By the end, a reversal of fortune proves a true love match for Frank, and the native nobility of the Californians shines through.

A Sappho of Green Springs

By: Bret Harte

America has always had a fascination with the Wild West, and schoolchildren grow up learning about famous Westerners like Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hicock, as well as the infamous shootout at O.K. Corral. Pioneering and cowboys and Indians have been just as popular in Hollywood, with Westerners helping turn John Wayne and Clint Eastwood into legends on the silver screen. HBO's Deadwood, about the historical 19th century mining town on the frontier was popular last decade. Not surprisingly, a lot has been written about the West, and one of the best known writers about the West in the 19th century was Francis Bret Harte (1836-1902), who wrote poetry and short stories during his literary career. Harte was on the West Coast by the 1860s, placing himself in perfect position to document and depict frontier life.
