In A Hollow Of The Hills is a novel by Bret Harte, an American author and poet. The book is set in the mid-19th century in the American West, specifically in the Sierra foothills of California. The story follows a young man named John Hale, who is on the run from the law after being falsely accused of murder. He seeks refuge in a small mining town called Red Gulch, where he meets a cast of characters including a saloon owner, a wealthy miner, and a beautiful young woman named M'liss. As John tries to clear his name, he becomes embroiled in the town's politics and relationships, including a love triangle involving M'liss and another man. The novel explores themes of justice, redemption, and the harsh realities of life in the Wild West. Harte's writing style is known for its realism and vivid descriptions of the landscape and characters. In A Hollow Of The Hills is a classic example of American Western literature and a must-read for fans of the genre.It was past midnight when he was awakened by the familiar clatter of boulders down the grade, the usual simulation of a wild rush from without that encompassed the whole mill, even to that heavy impact against the door, which he had heard once before. In this he recognized merely the ordinary phenomena of his experience, and only turned over to sleep again. But this time the door rudely fell in upon him, and a figure strode over his prostrate body, with a gun leveled at his head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
