    About this ebook

    O'Ronin Rye always brings you the very latest in yesterday’s Westerns.
    A jilted husband with nothing left to lose; a wandering priest with a secret; a missing wife searching for her child; a beautiful young girl fighting for her virtue; two brutal mountain men determined to destroy everything good and pure to satisfy their greed; fur traders just trying to make a living; an assortment of Métis and Indians trying to adapt; an abused wolf-dog who has never known kindness; and a bodyguard she-bear trained to kill on command: all the ingredients for a good time on a Saturday night in the wilds of British Columbia.
    In this 1916 western by James Oliver Curwood, there’s something for everyone: beautiful descriptions of the majesty that is Canada from Manitoba to the coast of British Columbia; chase scenes; shootouts; fist fights; dog fights; BEAR fights, eternal love stories; exploitation of women and Indians by blackguards and multinational corporations; and the potential for unswerving love and loyalty from good men, women, and animals.

    James Oliver Curwood

    James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American writer and conservationist popular in the action-adventure genre. Curwood began his career as a journalist, and was hired by the Canadian government to travel around Northern Canada and publish travel journals in order to encourage tourism. This served as a catalyst for his works of fiction, which were often set in Alaska or the Hudson Bay area in Canada. Curwood was among the top ten best-selling authors in the United States during the early and mid 1920s. Over one-hundred and eighty films have been inspired by or based on his work. With these deals paired with his record book sales, Curwood earned an impressive amount of wealth from his work. As he grew older, Curwood became an advocate for conservationism and environmentalism, giving up his hunting hobby and serving on conservation committees. Between his activism and his literary work, Curwood helped shape the popular perception of the natural world.
