The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
BRET HARTE was the first important American writer to use the early western mining settlements, the colorful lives of prospectors, gamblers, early ranchers and frontier women, and the stage coach and derringer in his stories. He little knew that he thus was founding the most perennially popular type of American reading the "western." And because he actually lived during the colorful era of the early west and was undeniably a talented writer, his stories are not only the first but among the finest "westerns" ever written. This varied selection of his stories includes, among others:
THE LUCK OF ROARING CAMP
TENNESSEE'S PARTNER
THE OUTCASTS OF POKER FLAT
A YELLOW DOG
THE RIGHT EYE OF THE COMMANDER
AN INGENUE OF THE SIERRAS
LANTY FOSTER'S MISTAKE
M'LISS: AN IDYLL OF RED MOUNTAIN
HOW SANTA CLAUS CAME TO SIMPSON'S BAR
