  • Silver Chief, dog of the north,

    Jack O'Brien

    Hardcover (J.C. Winston Co, March 15, 1933)
    Dust jacket notes: "...Silver Chief, son of a husky and of a wolf, by good fortune, falls into the hands of Jim Thorpe of the Canadian Mounted Police for taming and training. There are many half-dog-half-wolf creatures in the far northern wilds, but most of them yield to the call of the wolf blood in their veins and join some hunting pack in the shadowy forest fastnesses. Silver Chief, however, found friendship and understanding with Thorpe, and under the man's wise tutelage he grew into an intelligent and mighty dog deserving of his proud name. The account of the many adventures of the beautiful silver gray husky and his adored master in the Canadian barrens is a stirring story of matter-of-fact daily heroism plus the romantic lure of life as it is lived under the flickering Northern Lights."
