Book Excerpt : ...e money's comin' from for both.There's water enough in front of 'Lige Curtis's shanty, and his location is only a mile along the bank, returned Billings.Water enough for him to laze away his time fishin' when he's sober, and deep enough to drown him when he's drunk, said Wingate. If you call that an embarcadero, you kin buy it any day from 'Lige,--title, possession, and shanty thrown in,--for a demijohn o' whiskey.The fourth man here distastefully threw back a half-nibbled biscuit into the box, and languidly slipped from the barrel to the floor, fastidiously flicking the crumbs from his clothes as he did so. I reckon somebody'll get it for nothing, if 'Lige don't pull up mighty soon. He'll either go off his head with jim-jams or jump into the creek. He's about as near desp'rit as they make 'em, and havin' no partner to look after him, and him alone in the tules, ther' 's no tellin' WHAT he may do.Billings, stretched at full length in his chair, here gurgled derisively. Desp'rit!-... Trade Books>Trade Paperback>Fiction>Fiction Literary>Fict Literary, Pbshop.Co.UK Ltd DBA Echo Library Core >1<

[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Echo Library], 1891. Illustrated. Bret Harte's witty, sometimes heart-rending tales of frontier California earned him acclaim during the 1860s as the new prophet of American letters. His books, The Luck of Roaring Camp, The Outcasts of Poker Flat and M'liss, helped establish the foundations of western American fiction. The book begins: It blows, said Joe Wingate. As if to accent the words of the speaker a heavy gust of wind at that moment shook the long light wooden structure which served as the general store of Sidon settlement, in Contra Costa. Even after it had passed a prolonged whistle came through the keyhole, sides, and openings of the closed glass front doors, that served equally for windows, and filled the canvas ceiling which hid the roof above like a bellying sail.
