Bret Harte 
From Sand Hill to Pine 

Fans of high-quality Western tales will cherish this collection from the renowned chronicler of California’s misfits, outcasts, and rebels. Several of the stories collected resurrect some of Harte’s most popular characters; widely reviled blowhard Colonel Starbottle is featured in "What Happened at the Fonda, " and grizzled stage driver Yuba Bill shows up in "A Niece of Snapshot Harry’s."
