Bocetos californianos es un libro escrito por Bret Harte el cual pertenece al género Relato, Literatura, Cuentos y relatos . Originalmente fue publicado en 1979 Junto al título Bocetos californianos, actualmente tenemos registrados otros 3 libros del autor Bret Harte. La vastedad de las desiertas regiones ganadas para los Estados Unidos en el Oeste obligó a sus pobladores a ejercer las más diversas actividades. Así BRET HARTE (1836-1902), nacido en Albany, amigo y protector de Mark Twain, fue sucesivamente maestro de escuela, empleado de farmacia, minero, mensajero, tipógrafo, reportero, autor de cuentos cortos, colaborador regular del Golden Era y, a partir de 1868, director de la importante revista Overland Monthly. En sus páginas aparecieron esas breves y patéticas obras maestras The Luck of Roaring Camp (La suerte de Roaring Camp), The Outcasts of Poker Flat (Los expulsados de Poker Flat), Tennessee's Partner (El socio de Tennessee), que el autor reuniría bajo el título de The Californian Sketches (Bocetos californianos) y que fueron, acaso, una revelación del Oeste. Un poema humorístico The Heathen Chinne (El chino pagano), lo hizo famoso desde el Pacífico al Atlántico. En 1878, a pedido suyo, fue nombrado cónsul en la ciudad de Crefeld, en Prusia, y luego en Glasgow. Sus últimos años los pasó en Londres.

The story revolves around a wealthy miner named John Oakhurst, who becomes the town's most prominent citizen due to his wealth and generosity.The novel explores themes of greed, corruption, and the pursuit of wealth, as Oakhurst's rise to power is threatened by the arrival of a corrupt politician who seeks to exploit the town's resources for his own gain. Oakhurst must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries in the town to protect his interests and maintain his position of power.Throughout the book, Harte offers a vivid depiction of life in a mining community during the 19th century, with detailed descriptions of the rugged landscape, the harsh living conditions, and the colorful characters who populate the town.

Harte's masterful storytelling and vivid prose bring the world of Rough and Ready to life, making this book a must-read for fans of historical fiction and American literature.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.

Francis Bret Harte (August 25, 1836 - May 5, 1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted, and admired. Early life: Bret Harte was born in Albany, New York. He was named Francis Brett Hart after his great-grandfather, Francis Brett. When he was young, his father, Henry, changed the spelling of the family name from Hart to Harte. Henry's father was Bernard Hart, an Orthodox Jewish immigrant who flourished as a merchant, becoming one of the founders of the New York Stock Exchange. Later, Francis preferred to be known by his middle name, but he spelled it with only one "t", becoming Bret Harte. An avid reader as a boy, Harte published his first work at age 11, a satirical poem titled "Autumn Musings", now lost. Rather than attracting praise, the poem garnered ridicule from his family. As an adult, he recalled to a friend, "Such a shock was their ridicule to me that I wonder that I ever wrote another line of verse". His formal schooling ended when he was 13, in 1849. Career in California Harte moved to California in 1853, later working there in a number of capacities, including miner, teacher, messenger, and journalist. He spent part of his life in the northern California coastal town of Union (now Arcata), a settlement on Humboldt Bay that was established as a provisioning center for mining camps in the interior. The Wells Fargo Messenger, July 1916, relates that, after an unsuccessful attempt to make a living in the gold camps, he signed on as a messenger with Wells Fargo & Co. Express. He guarded treasure boxes on stagecoaches for a few months, then gave it up to become the schoolmaster at a school near Sonora. He created his character Yuba Bill from his memory of an old stagecoach driver. The 1860 massacre of between 80 and 200 Wiyots at the village of Tuluwat was well documented historically and was reported in San Francisco and New York by Harte. When serving as assistant editor for the Northern Californian, Harte editorialized about the slayings while his boss Stephen G. Whipple was temporarily absent, leaving Harte in charge of the paper. Harte published a detailed account condemning the event, writing: "a more shocking and revolting spectacle never was exhibited to the eyes of a Christian and civilized people. Old women wrinkled and decrepit lay weltering in blood, their brains dashed out and dabbled with their long grey hair. Infants scarcely a span long, with their faces cloven with hatchets and their bodies ghastly with wounds."[8] After he published the editorial, his life was threatened, and he was forced to flee one month later. Harte quit his job and moved to San Francisco, where an anonymous letter published in a city paper is attributed to him, describing widespread community approval of the massacre. In addition, no one was ever brought to trial, despite the evidence of a planned attack and references to specific individuals, including a rancher named Larabee and other members of the unofficial militia called the Humboldt Volunteers...
