In “The White Darkness," by Lawrence Mott Heinemann, we have a welcome change from the ordinary novel. Mr. Mott evidently has a wide knowledge of the French-Canadian trappers and the Mounted Police. The stories depict the great hardships of their lives, yet through all there runs a vein of brightness and bonus camaraderie and of kindness to each other when in trouble. Some of the stories are full of pathos, as in that of “ Jaquette " and “ Light of “ a Match.” The story of Black Dan in "The Current of Fear” relates how a bully was punished, but there is more light than shadow in the tales. About the author: Jordan Lawrence Mott IV (1881–1931), was an American novelist and writer on the outdoor life. His published works include Jules of the Great Heart: “free” trapper and outlaw in the Hudson Bay region in the early days (1905), To the Credit of the Sea (1907),The White Darkness, and other stories of the Great North-West (1907), and Prairie, Snow and Sea (1910). He pioneered fishing for steelhead on the North Umpqua River, Oregon, and a bridge and a section of the North Umpqua Trail bear the name Mott in his memory. He established a fishing camp near Steamboat Creek.

'Tonight they fall by their thousands, the battle in Heaven is over. The invasion of Earth will begin'. With the task of saving the Earth, from the dark souls of the 'Others', Rosa knew what she had to do. Run. Run as fast as she could. With the help of Ancient Magick, her Goddess, the Gods', Goddesses and Angels of Heaven, along with a few new creations on the way, it had to work. There was no other way. All everyone could do was hope that they would receive her and the message in time, through Time.

Jules Verbaux is a French Canadian trapper, whom the Hudson Bay Company regards as an outlaw, and there is a price upon his head. The other trappers, whites, half breeds and Indians track him persistently; but he slips through their fingers, time after time, doubling on his trail and eluding his pursuers with the cunning of the furry creatures that he has so long hunted. The sense of the cold and loneliness of northern forests, the pitiless cruelty of northern storms is given with the same sort of strength that gave distinction to Jack London's early Alaska stories; and there is in addition a warm human quality, a suggestion of kindliness and sympathetic heart beats. Jules of the Great Heart stands out prominently among the books of 1905, not merely for its individual merit as a vigorous picture of a strange and interesting phase of life, a character study of uncommon quality; but more particularly because of the conviction which comes over the reader that the author of such a book is destined to do other and bigger things—that he is a man to be remembered and watched.
