Excerpt from The Honor of the Big SnowsWhen he looked again at the woman, her eyes were open, and there glowed in them still the feeble fire of a great love. Her lips, too, pleaded with him in their old, sweet way, which always meant that he was to kiss them, and stroke her hair, and tell her again that she was the most beautiful thing in the Whole world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Novel of the Canadian North, a story of sorrow and adventure in the frozen Northland. Originally published in 1911. Out of the night came Jan and into the lives of all those at the company post on Lac Bain, in the Canadian Northland. Jan, almost starved and frozen, enters into the lives of John Cummins and Melisse, his daughter, playing his violin for food. He stays to become a beloved member of their family and the community. But Jan has a deep mystery about his past that haunts him. When a stranger shows up at the camp, this hidden past is threatened exposure. Jan s mystery unravels as he faces life at the remote outpost during the early 1900 s, a smallpox outbreak at the camp, and his love for little Melisse. It is the Honor of the Big Snows, part of his heritage, that Jan must keep, and that leads him to leave the post searching for his honor in his past.

When a young half-breed French/Indian boy turns up with his violin at an isolated Canadian trading post, his life and the lives of all there change forever. This narrative begins with the death of a young wife and the commitment of two men to a baby girl. The story tells the life of these three people over a seventeen year period. Life is hard in the north and life often hangs by a thread. This is an adventure story with love, hardship and honor thrown in for good measure. The Honor of the Big Snows was written by the very prolific writer James Oliver Curwood in 1911. For those readers not familiar with his work, it is similar to stories by his better known contemporaries, Jack London and Zane Gray. A solid story, The Honor of the Big Snows is sure to appeal to many.
