The works within explore various themes, primarily focusing on the contrasts and experiences of life in the Eastern and Western United States, particularly California. Harte, known for capturing the spirit of the American West, blends historical narratives with the beauty of the landscape and the complexities of human emotions. The collection features a variety of poems that paint vivid pictures of life, love, and legends, weaving tales from the seaport town of Greyport to stories of ghostly figures and lost galleons.
