"The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches" by Bret Harte. Boston: Osgood & Co., 1872. Blue cloth with gilt pictorial cover and title; 75pp; illustrated with a frontis and five other full page plates, protected with original tissue. The other stories include: "The Outcasts of Poker Flat", "Miggles", "Tennessee's Partner", The Idyl of Red Gulch", and "Brown of Calaveras." This folio size book is missing its front free fly leaf; the frontis page is detached; and the text body is loose from the front cover and spine. The front cover is worn at the corners and the cloth around the lower portion of spine is torn (but present).
