What is California Sketches about?

In the 1860's California was emerging from its rowdy Gold Rush days into a period when, as Bret Harte observed, "fine clothes appeared upon the streets and men swore less frequently." The high spirits of that new age leap to life in these stories, sketches, articles and reviews by Harte and Mark Twain, selected from the archives of The Californian , a leading San Francisco literary journal of the period. As literary gems and as social history, these 46 selections will delight readers with their humor and earnest desire to get to the heart of things, whether they talk about people, places or books, a major event or an odd turn of events, they provide winning close-ups of early Twain, early Harte, and early California.
