The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Writings

The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Writings brings together not only Harte’s best-known pieces, such as The Luck of Roaring Camp and The Outcasts of Poker Flat, but also the original transcription of the famous 1882 essay The Argonauts of ‘49, as well as a selection of his poetry, lesser-known essays, and three of his Condensed Novels, which are notable for Harte’s parodies of James Fenimore Cooper, Charles Dickens, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is the first collection to feature selections that evenly cover the full scope of Harte’s writing career.
