Description
Bret Harte opens Sally Dows with a prologue on the last gun at Snake River, where a dewy country lane turns by noon into a scene of war's aftermath. The title story follows Sally herself, with the conspiracy of Mrs. Bunker and the transformation of Buckeye Camp.
Their uncle from California brings eastern money and western manners into collision. Harte writes of post war California with his usual mix of romance and irony, and Sally stands as one of his strongest heroines. The volume shows Harte's later craft, compact, humane, and quietly surprising.
