A Millionaire of Rough and Ready is a novel written by Bret Harte. The story is set in the mining town of Rough and Ready in California during the mid-19th century. It follows the life of a wealthy miner named John Oakhurst, who becomes one of the most influential figures in the town. Oakhurst is known for his generosity and kindness, and he is loved by everyone in the community. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a woman named Helen. Helen is already engaged to another man, and Oakhurst must decide whether to pursue her or let her go. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the pursuit of wealth. It is a classic Western tale that captures the spirit of the American frontier.His rage and indignation a few days later may be readily conceived, when he found, on returning to his new-made home, another square of paper, folded like the first, but much fresher and whiter, lying within the cavity, on top of some moss which had evidently been placed there for the purpose. This he felt was really more than he could bear, but it was smaller, and with a few energetic kicks and whisks of his tail he managed to finally dislodge it through the opening, where it fell ignominiously to the earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
