A Millionaire of Rough-and-Ready is a humorous and insightful novella by Bret Harte that explores the quirks of wealth, identity, and social status in the American West. The story centers on Colonel Starling, a modest businessman in the rough mining town of Rough-and-Ready, who unexpectedly becomes the richest man in the region after a lucky land deal. As news of his fortune spreads, he finds himself besieged by opportunists, scheming politicians, and gold-diggers, all eager to share in his newfound wealth. With wit and irony, Harte satirizes human greed, generosity, and the absurdities of frontier society. Rich in character and local color, this tale blends comedy and social commentary, offering a vivid portrait of life in a transforming California mining camp where money changes everything-except perhaps the heart.
