Book Description
Excerpt from The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches With this lamentable example before me, I trust that in the following sketches I have abstained from any positive moral. I might have painted my villains of the blackest dye. - so black. Indeed, that the originals thereof would have contemplated them with the glow of comparative virtue. I might have made it impossible for them to have performed a virtuous or generous action, and have thus avoided that moral confusion which is apt to arise in the contemplation of mixed motives and qualities. But I should have burdened myself with the responsibility of their creation, which, as a humble writer of romance and entitled to no particular reverence, I did not care to do.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Luck of Roaring Camp, And, in the Carquinez Woods: And Other Stories and Sketches The Opportunity here offered1 to give some account of the genesis of these Californian sketches, and the condi tions under which they were conceived, is peculiarly tempt ing to an author who has been obliged to retain a decent professional reticence under a cloud of ingenious surmise, theory, and misinterpretation. He very gladly seizes this opportunity to establish the chronology of the sketches, and incidentally to Show that what are considered the happy accidents of literature are very apt to be the results of quite logical and often prosaic processes.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Tales: With Condensed Novels, Spanish and American Legends, and Earlier Papers 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. The present Riverside Edition is based on the collection made in 1897, but is enlarged by the inclusion of later work.
