"The two plays in this collection, The Luck of Roaring Camp, by Bret Harte, and The Prince of Timbuctoo, by Sam Davis, were written by Old West authors as the nineteenth century transitioned into the twentieth. Both plays are original treatments of Americans in the Old World - France and Africa, respectively. Hitherto, both plays were lost - never published, and forgotten.Harte greatly revised his famous short story to turn its title character into an attractive ingénue sent by her mining camp foster parents to acquire an education and polish in France. . . . . In Davis's play, a comic opera, three Americans come to Timbuctoo to exploit it. But two of them decide to support the young prince of the kingdom who is trying to gain his rightful throne and marry the girl of his choice." New condition, clean and unmarked.. 1st Edition.
