Idyls of the Foothills: In Prose and Verse is a collection of literary works by Bret Harte, an American author and poet. The book was first published in 1874 and is a compilation of short stories, poems, and essays that revolve around the idyllic countryside of California's foothills. The book is divided into two parts - the first part contains the prose works, while the second part features the poems. The stories in the first part are set in the 19th century and depict the lives of pioneers, miners, and settlers who lived in the foothills of California. The stories are full of humor, irony, and wit, and provide a glimpse into the lives of people in the Old West.The second part of the book contains Harte's poetry, which is known for its lyrical quality and vivid imagery. The poems in this section are inspired by the natural beauty of the foothills, and Harte's love for the region is evident in his descriptions of the landscape and the people who inhabit it.Overall, Idyls of the Foothills: In Prose and Verse is a charming and evocative collection of literary works that captures the spirit of the Old West and the beauty of California's foothills. Harte's writing is engaging and entertaining, and his love for the region shines through in every page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
