When Tennessee is arrested for robbery and faces public execution, it is his partner-quiet and unwavering-who refuses to abandon him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBret Harte's \u003cem\u003eTennessee's Partner\u003c\/em\u003e is a masterclass in minimalist storytelling with emotional depth.
