The life of the gold diggers of the American West, full of trials and cruelty, harsh and courageous characters, manifestations of human kindness and loyalty — these are the main themes of Bret Garth's works. He was a daring journalist, a lyrical poet, a kind of prose writer. His gift as a writer was recognized immediately and, surprisingly, first of all in Russia. But it's not just the adventurous plots and colorful images of the characters in Bret Garth's works that attract new readers to his books, and perhaps the triumph of justice that is present in the only novel "Gabriel Conroy", as well as in novels and short stories.
