Snow-Bound At Eagle's is a novel written by Bret Harte, published in 1870. The story is set in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California during the winter of 1860. It follows the lives of a group of travelers who become snowbound at the Eagle's Nest Hotel during a blizzard. The group includes a young couple, a Union soldier, a gambler, a Frenchman, and a Mexican. As they wait for the snow to clear, they begin to reveal their pasts and secrets to each other. The novel explores themes of isolation, survival, and human nature. Harte's vivid descriptions of the winter landscape and the characters' struggles make Snow-Bound At Eagle's a captivating and thought-provoking read.The speed and fury with which Clinch's cavalcade swept on in the direction of the mysterious shot left Hale no chance for reflection. He was conscious of shouting incoherently with the others, of urging his horse irresistibly forward, of momentarily expecting to meet or overtake something, but without any further thought. The figures of Clinch and Rawlins immediately before him shut out the prospect of the narrowing trail. Once only, taking advantage of a sudden halt that threw them confusedly together, he managed to ask a question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
