""Three Partners"" is a novel written by Bret Harte, an American author and poet. The story revolves around three partners - Henry York, Jack Fleming, and Colonel Starbottle - who are involved in a mining venture in California during the gold rush era. The three partners have very different personalities and backgrounds, which creates tension and conflict between them. The novel explores themes of greed, betrayal, and redemption as the partners navigate their way through the unpredictable world of mining. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a corrupt judge, a beautiful and mysterious woman, and a group of outlaws. As the plot unfolds, the partners are forced to confront their own weaknesses and shortcomings, and ultimately must decide whether their friendship and loyalty to each other is worth more than the riches they seek. Harte's vivid descriptions of the rugged landscape of California and his insightful portrayal of human nature make ""Three Partners"" a classic tale of the American West.1897. Illustrated. Bret Harte's witty, sometimes heart-rending tales of frontier California, earned him acclaim during the 1860s as the new prophet of American letters. His books, The Luck of Roaring Camp, The Outcasts of Poker Flat and M�������liss, helped establish the foundations of western American fiction. An excerpt from the book reads: There was something in the speaker's tone which seemed to touch a common chord in their natures, and this was voiced by Barker with sudden and almost pathetic earnestness. I tell you what, boys, we ought to swear here tonight to always stand by each other.
