I've been meaning to read "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" for decades; so, I picked it up as an audiobook.
It is simple, sparse, direct tale about how Oakhurst the gambler, and three others who threaten the moral quality of Poker Flats, are required to leave that town and never return. The exiles, and two others, are trapped by a snow storm and exhibit a quiet courage and fellowship in this situation.
It is a short story, and an effective one. In a way, I want to know the back story of Oakhurst, who comes across as an interesting and decent man.
Well-worth reading.
