"A Protegee of Jack Hamlin"s" and "An Ingenue of the Sierras," written later in Harte"s life, boast full casts of lively and colorful characters and settings ranging from a stagecoach to a Sacramento River steamer. They display Bret Harte"s enthralling storytelling style at full strength-crisply observant, rich in ironic humor, an engaging mix of sentiment and wit-a style that deeply influenced the American short story and set a future course for writers of "Western" fiction from Owen Wister to Zane Grey.
