"The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" is an 1898 western short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).
 Originally published in "McClure's Magazine", it was written in England.
 The story's protagonist is a Texas marshal named Jack Potter, who is returning to the town of Yellow Sky with his eastern bride.
 Potter's nemesis, the gunslinger Scratchy Wilson, drunkenly plans to accost the sheriff after he disembarks the train, but he changes his mind upon seeing the unarmed man with his bride.
The origin of the term itself has been largely attributed to American author Stephen Crane, who added the phrase, in 1896, to the second edition of his short novel, "".
 Crane writes, "I knew this was the way it would be.
 They got cold feet."
 The term is present in "Seed Time and Harvest" by Fritz Reuter published in 1862.
 Kenneth McKenzie, a former professor of Italian at Princeton University attributed the first use of the phrase to the play Volpone produced by Ben Jonson in 1605.
 The true origin and first usage of the phrase remains debated and unconfirmed as exemplified above.
SS "Commodore" was an American steamboat that was wrecked off the coast of Florida on 2 January 1897, while en route to Cuba.

 Crane and three other men, including the ship's captain, Edward Murphy, were stranded in a 10 ft dinghy for nearly thirty hours near the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse (today's Ponce de Leon Inlet Light) before they were able to reach shore; all but one of the men survived.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets is an 1893 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).
 The story centers on Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude.
 The work was considered risqué by publishers because of its literary realism and strong themes.
 Crane – who was 22 years old at the time – financed the book's publication himself, although the original 1893 edition was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith.
 After the success of 1895's "The Red Badge of Courage", "Maggie" was reissued in 1896 with considerable changes and re-writing.
 The story is followed by "George's Mother".

"The Blue Hotel" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).
 The story first appeared in 1898 in two installments in "Collier's Weekly" for November 26 and December 3, 1898.
 Then in the collection entitled "The Monster and Other Stories".
 It is perhaps the most widely read of all the tales in the collection and while it may seem, on the surface, to be a rather straightforward story about a man who gets in trouble after a stay at the Palace Hotel, there are several complex themes that drive the work and in some ways, define many of the overarching themes in novels like "" and more generally, of Crane’s entire body of work.
 Stylistically, this work breaks away from the standards of the time, often delving into the realms of Expressionism, a style not readily found in the American literary Canon.
"The Open Boat" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).
 First published in 1897, it was based on Crane's experience of surviving a shipwreck off the coast of Florida earlier that year while traveling to Cuba to work as a newspaper correspondent.
 Crane was stranded at sea for thirty hours when his ship, the SS "Commodore", sank after hitting a sandbar.
 He and three other men were forced to navigate their way to shore in a small boat; one of the men, an oiler named Billie Higgins, drowned after the boat overturned.
 Crane's personal account of the shipwreck and the men's survival, titled "Stephen Crane's Own Story", was first published a few days after his rescue.
