A single woman living alone on a mountain within sight of a little town raises the curiousity of the town's inhabitants who share rumors about the strange menagerie she keeps in her shabby hut on the mountain. When the church deacon and pastor decide to make an unnounced visit to 'Christmas Jenny's' home and enter without an invite, a close friend from the town gives them a piece of her mind. A good Christmas story from Mry E.Wilkins Freeman. Enjoy all our stories at www.bestof1001stories.com

This was the first short story penned under the name O.Henry- and its a great classic, offering a tale of a wanderer named Whistling Dick who, finding New Orleans no longer friendly to hoboes, hits the road for better chances, and finds himself the new owner of a young ladie's stocking which was accidentally dropped from a passing carriage. Its a story that will immerse you in life along the river at the dawn of the 20th century and keep you in suspense as trouble approaches a sugar cane plantation outside of New Orleans.  Check out all our shows and episodes at www.bestof1001stories.com

A little girl is temporarily abandoned on  Thanksgiving when her family has to rush away to the next town to care for an ailing relative

How was Thanksgiving celebrated in the 1860's?  After the Civil War, affairs of home and hearth became much more important to families who suffered so much loss during the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe was of the important leaders of this renaissance with her stories.

In this short story by Bret Harte, first published in the August 1868 issue of Overland Monthly, a baby boy is born an orphan in a gold mining camp in California and raides by a grizzled bunch of miners. This story helped to puch Bret Harte to international prominence as a writer, and contains a veritable cornucopia of descriptive words- a great tool for learning and expanding your literary horizons.   Learn more about your ad choices.
