The first time I remember hearing about outcasts was in a literature class in high school when I was introduced to Bret Harte’s “The Outcasts of Poker Flat.” The story and the author intrigued me because of the storyline and because the author’s first name, “Bret,” was similar to mine. After reading the short story, I was captivated even more because some of the characters had surprising qualities that you would not have expected when first introduced to them.
