Francis Bret Harte is an American writer and poet. Born in Albany, New York, where his father was a college Greek teacher. Bret Garth was by turns teacher, miner, government courier, and finally compositor. Work in the printing house helped to reveal his vocation, and in 1857 he was invited by the editors of the magazine "The golden Era" in San Francisco. Since then, his career as a journalist, publisher and writer began. His first stories - "The Condensed Novels" were published in the magazine "The Californian", which he edited, and from 1868 - began to independently publish the monthly "The Overland Monthly", the first significant magazine in the western states of America. The works of Bret Hart published there finally strengthened his fame as a writer for both America and Europe. The beginning of Bret Hart's literary work coincided with his stay in the Western states, and his work was forever tinged with the peculiar flavor of the West. His life, full of unexpected and varied occupations, which threw him from the environment of the average American intelligentsia into a little cultured and adventuristic environment of gold prospectors and settlers, gave him a rich supply of impressions and themes. Unfamiliar to American literature until then, Bret Garth drew themes from the lives of gold diggers, gamblers, Asian settlers, criminals and prostitutes.
