Francis Bret Harte (1836-1902), best known for “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” and other stories of the Gold Rush, gave the world a new view of the American West. This 1911 biography recaptures the tumult and color of those times while covering the writer’s life from ancestry and boyhood through his years in Europe as a diplomat, with additional commentary on Harte as a fiction writer and poet.
