The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Tales

Excerpt

In 1882, it was felt to be desirable that Mr. Harte’s scattered work
should be brought together in convenient form, and the result was a
compact edition of five volumes.  After that date, as before, he
continued to produce poems, tales, sketches, and romances in steady
succession, and in 1897 his publishers undertook a uniform and orderly
presentation of the results of more than thirty years of his literary
activity.  The fourteen volumes that embodied those results were
enriched by Introductions and a Glossary prepared by Mr. Harte
himself.
