This is a nice free collection of short stories by Bret Harte. It's actually my first introduction to his work, since I was never required to read his things in school and his name wasn't exactly brought up with the frequency of Twain, Faulkner, et. al.

So anyway, the best thing about this is obviously the fact that it's free, and it's a collection of stories.

The only slight downside is that there is no active table of contents. This means you'll pretty much have to search for the stories you want.

Here's the table of contents, so you know what you're getting:

THE OUTCASTS OF POKER FLAT
