Found at Blazing Star is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet who is known for his portrayals of life in the American West during the mid-19th century. The book features a variety of tales that capture the spirit of the frontier, including stories about gold miners, gamblers, and outlaws. The stories are set in California and Nevada, and they explore themes such as love, loss, and redemption. Harte's writing style is characterized by his use of regional dialects and his vivid descriptions of the landscape and people of the American West. Overall, Found at Blazing Star is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West, as well as for fans of classic American literature.It was scarcely thirty feet from the road. The only object that met Cass's eye was a man's stiff, tall hat, lying emptily and vacantly in the grass. It was new, shiny, and of modish shape. But it was so incongruous, so perkily smart, and yet so feeble and helpless lying there, so ghastly ludicrous in its very appropriateness and incapacity to adjust itself to the surrounding landscape, that it affected him with something more than a sense of its grotesqueness, and he could only stare at it blankly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
