Kurzbeschreibung

A pioneer in the use of California local color, Harte in his story "The Luck of Roaring Camp", first published in the Overland Monthly in July 1868, "reached across the continent and startled the Academists on the Atlantic Coast", as Kate Chopin later declared. Harte's subsequent Overland tales and verse . . . challenged genteel assumptions about literary production and helped open the pages of the Atlantic Monthly and other eastern papers to such western writers as Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Ina Coolbrith, and Joaquin Miller.
