Tales of Desert Places is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet. The book features a series of tales set in the desolate and unforgiving landscapes of the American West. Each story explores the lives of characters who find themselves struggling to survive in the harsh desert environment, facing challenges such as drought, heat, and isolation. The collection includes some of Harte's most famous works, such as The Outcasts of Poker Flat, a story about a group of outlaws who are banished from their town and forced to survive in the wilderness. Other stories in the book include A Deal in Wheat, which focuses on the struggles of a farmer during a time of economic hardship, and The Passing of Enriquez, which explores themes of cultural identity and assimilation. Throughout the book, Harte's writing style is characterized by a vivid and evocative use of language, which brings the desert landscapes to life and captures the harsh realities of life in the American West. Tales of Desert Places is a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers with its powerful storytelling and vivid imagery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
