A First Family of Tasajara
1891
A First Family of Tasajara, published in 1891 by Bret Harte, is a novel set in the struggling settlement of Sidon in Contra Costa County, California. The story follows Elijah 'Lige Curtis, a man perceived as a 'ne'er do well' who faces desperation and ambition amid the complexities of frontier life. The narrative explores themes of community dynamics and societal change, particularly in relation to the potential impact of a new railroad. Harte's work reflects the challenges and aspirations of 19th-century American life, contributing to the Western genre and California's literary history.
