Tales of Trail and Town is a collection of short stories written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet who is best known for his stories about life in the American West during the 19th century. The book is divided into two sections: Trail and Town. The Trail section contains stories about life on the frontier, including tales about cowboys, miners, and other rugged individuals who made their living in the Wild West. The Town section contains stories about life in the cities and towns of the West, including tales about gamblers, saloon owners, and other colorful characters who populated the urban landscape. The stories are written in a vivid and engaging style, with a strong focus on character and setting. They provide a fascinating glimpse into the culture and history of the American West, and are a must-read for anyone interested in this era of American history.The wind was getting up on the Bolinas Plain. It had started the fine alkaline dust along the level stage road, so that even that faint track, the only break in the monotony of the landscape, seemed fainter than ever. But the dust cloud was otherwise a relief; it took the semblance of distant woods where there was no timber, of moving teams where there was no life. And as Sue Beasley, standing in the doorway of One Spring House that afternoon, shading her sandy lashes with her small red hand, glanced along the desolate track, even HER eyes, trained to the dreary prospect, were once or twice deceived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
