Crime & Suspense
Originally published in Harte’s 1875 short-story collection The Tales of the Argonauts, “How Santa Claus Came to Simpson’s Bar” is set in California in the early 1860s and, like the rest of the tales in that collection, features the gold-seeking Argonauts. In this tale, like many of Harte’s others, the folly and grit of human existence balance any good intentions, good cheer, or hope, resulting in a more complicated and somewhat bleak ending than is commonly found in most Christmas tales.
