  • "The Blue hotel: "As the story opens, three visitors find shelter from a blizzard at Pat Scully's hotel in Fort Romper, Neb.: a nervous New Yorker known as the Swede, a rambunctious Westerner named Bill, and a reserved Easterner called Mr. Blanc. The Swede becomes increasingly drunk, defensive, and reckless. He beats Scully's son, Johnnie, in a fight after accusing him of cheating at cards. When the Swede accosts a patron of a bar, he is stabbed and killed. The story ends ambiguously at a point several months later, when timid Mr. Blanc confesses to Bill that he feels somewhat responsible for the Swede's death because he failed to act when he saw that Johnnie was indeed cheating at cards." --Encyclopædia Britannica website."
  • "His new mittens: "His New Mittens by Stephen Crane is the story of Little Horace and his new mittens. The story begins one morning when he had his beautiful new red mittens on. The children were playing in the snow and they invited him to play with them but the child wanted to keep his new mittens clean because his mother had warned him..." --lulu website."
  • "The harrowing title tale from this collection recounts the experiences of an African-American coachman who becomes horribly disfigured after rescuing his employer's son from a fire. A study of race and tolerance as well as the challenges posed by deformity, this major work by the author of The Red Badge of Courage originally appeared in 1898. The last of Stephen Crane's work to be published in his lifetime, the story was rediscovered in the mid-twentieth century and acclaimed by Ralph Ellison as one of the parents of the modern American novel. This volume also features two additional short stories by Crane: The Blue Hotel, in which a nervous visitor is led astray by his own preconceptions about the Wild West, and His New Mittens, the touching tale of a little boy who allows himself to be goaded into a snowball fight and attempts to outrun his mistake."@en

When Henry is branded a "monster" by the town's residents, Trescott vows to shelter and care for him, resulting in his family's exclusion from the community." --Wikipedia."
