""Found At Blazing Star"" is a novel written by Bret Harte. The book tells the story of Gabriel Conroy, a man who is searching for his missing wife in the wilds of California during the Gold Rush era. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a bandit, a saloon girl, and a Chinese immigrant. As Gabriel navigates the dangerous and unpredictable landscape, he must also confront his own inner demons and come to terms with his troubled past. ""Found At Blazing Star"" is a gripping tale of love, loss, and redemption set against the backdrop of one of the most exciting and tumultuous periods in American history.It was scarcely thirty feet from the road. The only object that met Cass' eye was a man's stiff, tall hat, lying emptily and vacantly in the grass. It was new, shiny, and of modish shape. But it was so incongruous, so perkily smart, and yet so feeble and helpless lying there, so ghastly ludicrous in its very appropriateness and incapacity to adjust itself to the surrounding landscape, that it affected him with something more than a sense of its grotesqueness, and he could only stare at it blankly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
