Description
It is part of a series known as "Let's Get Associated," which depicts scenes from the American West. This stamp, number 125, is based on the story "The Luck of Roaring Camp" by Bret Harte.
The stamp is one of many in the series, which also included images of places such as the Geysers, the San Francisco Bay Bridge, and Mission Santa Cruz. These stamps were typically collected in a companion book called "Associated Stamps of the West," which held 100 of these stamps.
Bret Harte's story, "The Luck of Roaring Camp," tells the story of a baby boy's birth in a gold mining camp in the mid-19th century. After his mother's death, the rough miners decide to raise the child themselves, which has a positive impact on the camp and its inhabitants. The story, first published in 1870, helped Harte gain national fame.
