This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. At the height of his career, in the 1860s and 1870s, Bret Harte was one of the most famous and most highly paid American writers. His popular accounts of life in Gold Rush-era California, including short stories such as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," seized the public imagination and made him an international celebrity. Harte's invention of prototypical "western" charactersthe shady prospector, the cynical gambler, the tough cowboy, the prostitute with a heart of goldcreated the mythology through which Americans learned to understand the culture of the "Old West." Combining realistic descriptions of the specific regional characteristics of California life with sentimental plots, Harte hit on a formula that delighted nineteenth-century readers and continues to influence American narratives of the West.

Bret Harte (1836-1902)
by Janice Albert The year 2002 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the death of Bret Harte, Argonaut and author. Wherever you live in California, there is probably a Bret Harte elementary, middle or high school near you. Who was Harte and what is his contribution to the life and literature of California? Although his collected work runs to many volumes, Harte's reputation is built on a handful of stories and a poem that he wrote while living in San Francisco during the years of the Gold Rush. "Tennessee's Partner," "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," "M'Liss," and "The Luck of Roaring Camp" are some of the titles that brought him international fame and caused readers to call him "the young Dickens." Bret Harte's characters in bronze, Bohemian Club, Post Street side
In these stories, Harte created a set of characters that live in the American imagination even now-the ruffian who gently helps a tiny child, the gun totin' preacher, the judge who administers justice by the seat of his pants-all these types that we know so intimately from countless TV shows and Westerns have their origin in Harte's stories of the Forty Niners. Through his poem "Plain Language from Truthful James," Harte created a wily Chinaman who outwits his Anglo gambling opponents. These materials brought out his flair for constructing dialect and description. His own mining experiences were slender and unsuccessful, but he was on friendly terms with others, such as

The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Bret Harte (1836-1902)
Index Bret Harte is remembered as the author of adventurous stories such as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," set along the western mining frontier. As the first great success in the local colorist school, Harte for a brief time was perhaps the best-known writer in America such was the appeal of his romantic version of the gunslinging West. Outwardly realistic, he was one of the first to introduce low-life characters cunning gamblers, gaudy prostitutes, and uncouth robbers into serious literary works. He got away with this (as had Charles Dickens in England, who greatly admired Harte's work) by showing in the end that these seeming derelicts really had hearts of gold. Index

Synopsis
Where the great highway of the Sierras nears the summit, and the pines begin to show sterile reaches of rock and waste in their drawn-up files, there are signs of occasional departures from the main road, as if the weary traveller had at times succumbed to the long ascent, and turned aside for rest and breath again. The tired eyes of many a dusty passenger on the old overland coach have gazed wistfully on those sylvan openings, and imagined recesses of primeval shade and virgin wilderness in their dim perspectives. Had he descended, however, and followed one of these diverging paths, he would have come upon some rude wagon track, or "logslide," leading from a clearing on the slope, or the ominous saw-mill, half hidden in the forest it was slowly decimating. The woodland hush might have been broken by the sound of water passing over some unseen dam in the hollow, or the hiss of escaping steam and throb of an invisible engine in the covert.

The writer of short stories such as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" grew up in Albany before his family moved to California. He joined the San Francisco Unitarian Church where Thomas Starr King helped to guide his writing, reading, and concern for the abolition of slavery. When Bret founded a newspaper, Northern California , his outraged editorial condemning drunken townsmen who had murdered many Indian women and children forced him to flee for his life.
Volumes of Bret Harte short fiction were published almost every year during his last twenty years.

Bret Harte (1836-1902)
Original name FRANCIS BRETT HARTE American writer who helped create the local-colour school in American fiction.
Harte's family settled in New York City and Brooklyn in 1845. His education was spotty and irregular, but he inherited a love of books and managed to get some verses published at age 11. In 1854 he left for California and went into mining country on a brief trip that legend has expanded into a lengthy participation in, and intimate knowledge of, camp life. In 1857 he was employed by the Northern Californian, a weekly paper. There his support of Indians and Mexicans proved unpopular; after a massacre of Indians in 1860, which he editorially deplored, he found it advisable to leave town.

Bret Harte, The Luck of Roaring Camp
Bret Harte (1836-1902) is known today as one of the classic writers of Western pulp fiction, a genre that flourished with the dime novel. Harte's earlier writings, like "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and Other Stories (1870), are widely considered classics not only of American popular culture but of American literature. Drawing on his own experiences in California's gold mining camps, Harte captures authentic stories which became more than just local color writing; his stories of this period spawned an explosion of regional writing. We will be reading selections from this collection: "The Luck of Roaring Camp," "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," and "Tennessee's Partner."
Questions to Think About:
1) What are the characteristics which identify the Western story as a genre? To answer this, refer to the selected reading from Richard Slotkin's Gunfighter Nation . What are the types of characters which appear in the Western story? What do they represent?
2) One of the most important aspects of the Western is the way in which Westerns as a genre reflect (and challenge) the founding story of the American nation. What is so "American" about the Western story genre? What values do they reflect? What internal struggles do they bury or alleviate and which do they accentuate in favor of establishing a more cohesive and hegemonic national identity?
3) How do Harte's stories reflect the realities of the California gold rush? What were the anxieties and hopes associated with that moment in American experience?
