Bret Harte, an American writer and poet, became famous for his stories featuring miners, gamblers, and other notable figures of the California Gold Rush. Throughout his more than four-decade career, he expanded his repertoire to include poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches. Even after relocating to the eastern U.S. and Europe, Harte’s Gold Rush tales continue to be his most renowned and timeless works, often republished, adapted, and highly regarded by audiences and critics.
