Editorial Reviews:
Think Mark Twain meets Jack London. If youre a lover of great American short stories, Bret Harte is an essential, if oft-forgotten, name in the canon. Hartes stories are by turns folksy and brutal, bringing a Twainian folksy wit tothe hard landscapes of the American West. In the title story, a plucky group of gold prospectors find themselves raising a child in the wilderness.Victor Raider-Wexler brings a weathered, gruff charm to his performance of these classic tales.Hes the knowing old hand telling stories around the campfire you hope never burns out.

American Slave Narratives
Great series! These Slave narratives fill in an important gap in American history. They help readers understand slavery in the United States from people who lived it or observed how it worked.
