Review:
Short story by Bret Harte, published in 1868 in the Overland Monthly, which Harte edited. "The Luck" is a baby boy born to Cherokee Sal, a fallen woman who dies in childbirth at Roaring Camp, a California gold rush settlement. The men of the camp decide to raise the child themselves, and his presence inspires them to stop fighting and gambling and to clean themselves and the camp. When they discover gold, they believe that the child has brought them the fortune. Tragedy strikes, however, when a flood sweeps the camp, killing both the Luck and his protector. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
