Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger "Under the Redwoods" by Bret Harte is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book presents various tales set against the backdrop of the California wilderness, exploring themes of human relationships, fortune, and the struggles of settlers in the gold rush era. The opening stories introduce characters navigating their lives within a mining community, highlighting the stark contrasts between luck and misfortune, joy and despair. At the start of "Under the Redwoods," we encounter the characters of Jimmy and Dick Lasham, who represent different ends of the fortune spectrum. As the night falls on Sawyer's Ledge amidst a storm, the narrative unfolds with two cabins illuminated by returning miners—one celebrating a lucky strike while the other hosts a distressed invalid, Dick Lasham, who is suffering from fever. His neighbor, Daddy Folsom, cares for him but is distracted by the festivities nearby. The tale poignantly hints at Dick's responsibility toward his brother and sister, a theme of familial duty woven throughout the narrative. The opening portion sets the stage for themes of sacrifice and compassion amidst the hardships of frontier life.
