A Classic Conan Tale. Howard was born and raised in the state of Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death at the age of 30 by suicide, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he had become successful in several genres. Although a Conan novel was nearly published into a book in 1934, his stories never appeared in book form during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was in the pulp magazine Weird Tales.

"Raise The Stone, And Ye Shall Find Me; Cleave The Wood, And There Am I." The Stars Were Shining Frostily, In A Clear Sky, When The Boy Crawled Out From Under His Snow-Drift In The Morning. He Built Up The Fire, Quaking In The Bitter Air, And Bustled The Breakfast. "You Seem To Be In Something Of A Hurry," Said The Colonel, With A Yawn Stifled In A Shiver. "We Haven'T Come On This Trip To Lie Abed In The Morning," His Pardner Returned With Some Solemnity. "I Don'T Care How Soon I Begin Caperin' Ahead With That Load Again." "Well, It'Ll Be Warmin', Anyway," Returned The Colonel, "And I Can'T Say As Much For Your Fire." It Was Luck That The First Forty Miles Of The Trail Had Already Been Traversed By The Boy. He Kept Recognising This And That In The Landscape, With An Effect Of Good Cheer On Both Of Them. It Postponed A Little The Realization Of Their Daring In Launching Themselves Upon The Arctic Waste, Without A Guide Or Even A Map That Was Of The Smallest Use. [mehr]

It All Happened In Less Than Two Minutes, And Yet In That Brief Space Of Time His Entire Outlook Upon Life Was Changed. He Saw Her Across The Street Standing Upon The Edge Of The Sidewalk Facing The Throng Of Teams And Motors That Were Surging By. She Had Evidently Attempted To Cross, But Had Hurriedly Retreated Owing To The Tremendous Crush Of Traffic. The Gleam Of The Large Electric Light Nearby Brought Into Clear Relief A Face Of More Than Ordinary Charm And Beauty. [mehr]

Francis Bret Harte (August 25, 1836[1] – May 5, 1902) was an American author and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush.
