Day 20
Book cover - “The Outcasts Of Poker Flat: And Other Tales,” by Bret Harte. The cover shows a drawing of five people all standing and grouped around a campfire. On the far side of the campfire are three people: a man and two women. On the near side are a man and a woman holding each other. This book was published in 1869 and the people are wearing clothes from that time: long skirts and shawls for the women and wide brimmed hats, heavy jackets and dark pants for the men. The smoke from the campfire is a dark orange near the ground and becoming a lighter color as it curves up and toward the sky.
