The Luck of Roaring Camp and other sketches by Francis Bret Harte. James R Osgood & Co Boston 1871. 256 pages + hard bound cover. With historical sketches of early life around San Francisco, including the now Ghost Town of Poker Flat, Roaring Camp I believe near San Jose and more. 

Good for age. Some cover soiling and wear, including fraying at head and tail. Spine faded, good binding, edges and corners rubbed to boards. Some text foxing and yellowing throughout, but readable. Text stiff overall, seldom persued. Light text wear. It measures 4 3/4" x 7 1/8" x 7/8". A nice find.
