Bret Harte was an American short story writer and poet best remembered for short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush.
Bret Harte turns camps and claims into quick theater. Jokes and kindness sit side by side while luck tests loyalty. His stories helped the West enter national imagination. Read him today for pace, for human scale, and to see how frontier comedy still argues about fairness and belonging.
