Francis Brett Harte was born on 25 August 1836 in Albany, New York, the son of a teacher, Henry Harte and his wife Elizabeth Ostrander. Young Frank was frail as a child due to ill health, and the family moved often on account of his father's profession in seasonal teaching positions. Frank turned to books as his favourite indoor pursuit, studying the Bible and reading Byron, Dickens, and Poe among others. After his father's death the family moved to Oakland, California in 1853, and his mother remarried Colonial Andrew Williams. Harte taught for a while, and also worked in the mining industry. The weekly newspaper Northern Californian was Harte's first exposure to journalism, editing, and writing. When drunken Union members murdered countless Wiyot Indian men, women, and children in the Gunther's Island Massacre in 1860, Harte lashed out in editorial rage and barely escaped with his life when the locals ran him out of town.

Postbellum America, 1866-1913 Bret Harte By Victoria Henderson Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Bret Harte was born in Albany, New York, to a family of little financial means. His father, Henry Hart, was the son of an immigrant, Bernard Hart, who moved to America and became rich. However, Bernard left Henry and his mother to marry another lady. Henry, raised in a Dutch Reformed church, finished his college education but didn't receive a diploma due to the fact that he owed a ninety dollar graduation fee. Bret's mother, Elizabeth Rebecca Ostrander Hart, was from the English and Dutch culture. Not much is known of her other than she came from a cultured, middle-class stock and was Episcopalian. His parents met during a visit to the Brett's home and married in 1830. Francis Bret Hart was born in 1836. Harte's first years in California were not easy ones. He lived with his family for a few months, but then he sought out work anywhere he could find it. Bret drifted from job to job until he became settled. He tutored the children of ranchers and even rode shotgun for a stage coach. During these years he kept a diary and he continued to write poetry. Harte thought of himself as a failure, but he didn't give up. Finally, the opportunity arrived for him to work as a printer for the Northern Californian

Give us a holler Bret Harte, born 1836, tried several occupations before he became a writer and a journalist, and his writing life was full of ups and downs. He became the founding editor of the Overland Monthly in 1868, some years after being run out of Eureka California for printing a factual report of a massacre of Indians. In the early 1870s, Harte was at the top of his career. It's said he was the highest paid, most-read author of the day. Mark Twain is quoted as saying " . . though I am generally placed at the head of my breed of scribblers in this part of the country, the place properly belongs to Bret Harte." But his popularity became his undoing and he found himself unable to produce and compete with other writers of the day. In 1877 he became a commercial agent in Prussia, and later American Consul in Glasgow, Scotland. He died 25 years later in London. While best known for his stories such as The Luck of Roaring Camp and The Outcasts of Poker Flat , Harte also wrote numerous poems, including the wildly popular satire "The Heathen Chinee," which he called "the worst poem I ever wrote."
