1. Francis Bret Harts (1839-1902) was something more than a mere fun maker. He was born in New York, August 1839. He found opportunity for writing, and achieved some of his earliest successes, as for instance, those capital parodies "Condensed Novels'' He did well also in whimsical light verse. Later on he achieved greater fame with his "Luck of Roaring Camp"
2. Bret Harte's humour found a natural outlet in the rough, elemental life of the mining camp, where extravagance of personality as well as of incident seem quite in harmony with his surroundings.
3. His best writings have something of that colloquial realism, and rough actuality. In his verse there is plenty of vigour and colour.
4. Bret Harte will be remembered by his LUCK OF ROARING CAMP, HIS MIGGLES, AND HID OUTCASTS OF POKER'S FLAT; for there his erratic genius finds its most satisfying expression.
