"The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Tales" is a collection of short stories by Bret Harte, including the titular story that helped propel Harte to international fame. 'The Luck of Roaring Camp,' tells the story of a gold prospecting camp in 19th-century California where a baby boy is born to a dying woman named Cherokee Sal. The miners, who believe the child to be a good luck charm, decide to raise him themselves and change their behavior, hoping to create a better life for the child. The story explores themes of redemption, community, and the harsh realities of life in the American West during the gold rush era. Other stories in the collection include 'The Outcasts of Poker Flat,' which follows a group of outcasts banished from their town and forced to survive in the wilderness, and 'Miggles,' a love story set against the backdrop of the gold rush. Harte's vivid descriptions and realistic dialogue bring the world of the Old West to life, making "The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Tales" a classic of American literature.
