Openings In The Old Trail is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet who is best known for his tales of the American West. The book features a series of interconnected stories that take place in the Sierra Nevada region of California during the mid-19th century. The stories follow a group of characters who are all searching for something in the rugged and untamed wilderness of the West. From gold prospectors to bandits, from cowboys to settlers, each character has their own unique story to tell. Throughout the book, Harte explores themes of love, loss, greed, and redemption, painting a vivid picture of life in the West during this time period. The stories are filled with richly drawn characters, vivid descriptions of the landscape, and a deep understanding of the human condition. Overall, Openings In The Old Trail is a captivating collection of stories that offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the people who lived during it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or in the works of Bret Harte.A miser, as sure as you're born! said Wyngate, with optimistic decision. That's always the way. You'll find every crack of that blessed old shed stuck full of greenbacks and certificates of deposit, and lots of gold dust and coin buried all over that cow patch! And of course no one suspected it! And of course he lived alone, and never let any one get into his house--and nearly starved himself! Lord love you! There's hundreds of such cases. The world is full of 'em!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
