Book Description
The prototype of the modern man of letters as a man of business, Harte epitomized the professional writer in America immediately after the Civil War. Nor was his career short-lived. His collected writings run to twenty-five volumes, and his tales were regularly translated into German, French, Italian, Swedish, Russian, and other languages. Part I of this volume lists first printings and many reprintings and translations of nearly 850 of Harte's poems, stories, and plays. It reconstructs his lecture tours and the performance schedules of several plays and lists texts falsely attributed to him. Part II lists a number of documentary sources, many of them new to Harte scholarship, including interviews, a selection of Harte obituaries, and archives that hold Harte manuscripts.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diantha's Quest: A Tale of the Argonauts of '49 One April day, in the year 1849, a little girl, dressed daintily, if cheaply, in gaily flowered calico, sat drawing with a pointed stick in the clean sand at her feet. She wore a straw sun-bonnet pulled well over her face and seemed quite oblivious to the activities of the strange camp not far away. There many men and women, already accustomed to life under canvas, were making bread, washing clothes, scouring tins, mending harness, repairing the high tops of their wagons; busy, in a hundred ways, with the homely tasks which were their daily portion. Dotted here and there over the broad plains, stretching out like a green carpet to the west, were knots of cattle, mules, oxen and horses grazing under the watchful eyes of mounted attendants. Behind the camp, separated from it by the river, was the little town of St. Joseph, the last center of civilization that these Argonauts were to see for many a weary day.
