Tales of the Argonauts and Eastern Sketches is a collection of short stories by Bret Harte, originally published in 1882. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section featuring stories set in the American West during the California Gold Rush of the mid-19th century. The stories in this section follow the adventures of various characters, including miners, gamblers, and outlaws, as they navigate the rough and tumble world of the gold rush.The second section of the book features stories set in the eastern United States, including New York City and the rural countryside. These stories explore themes of love, betrayal, and social class, and offer a glimpse into the lives of everyday Americans during the late 19th century.Overall, Tales of the Argonauts and Eastern Sketches offers a fascinating look at life in America during a time of great change and upheaval. Harte's vivid descriptions and colorful characters bring the era to life, and his stories continue to captivate readers more than a century after they were first published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
