Love him or hate him, Timber-Wolf is a heroic figure. The little village of Big Pine, on the edge of the Southwestern wilderness, was in turmoil when he rode into town. Gold had been struck and adventurers had crowded in from every direction. There was foul play and danger of rioting, and one of his friends was in trouble.This book was originally published in 1923 and was made into a movie, “The Timber Wolf” (1925), directed by W.S. Van DykeReview: “Out in a wilderness of the great southwest they faced each other, Lynette, Babe Deveril, and Timber-Wolf, the three outstanding characters in this new novel of the days when the lure of gold ran riot and men were a law unto themselves. There’s action a-plenty, thrills on every page, treachery on every side, gun play, even murder; and yet there is also a wonderful ending, revealed only in the last chapter.” – (The Continent, Volume 52, 1923)About the author: Jackson Gregory (1882-1943) was an American teacher, journalist, and writer. He began his career as a fiction writer by contributing short stories to the pulp magazines. He would go on to be one of America's more successful and prolific authors in the first half of the 20th century. Though the vast majority of his stories were about the American Old West, he did occasionally venture into other genres, like mysteries, fantasies or South Seas adventures. His writing formula was usually a successful combination of an abundance of action, adventure and suspense coupled with a dependable story line. His favorite settings were often areas of the American Southwest and Mexico that he grew up in or was familiar with (in his younger days he had actually been a cowboy, working on cattle ranches in Nevada).Several movies made from Jackson Gregory books, including: Six Feet Four, Under Handicap, The Man from Painted Post, Bells of San Juan, Alias Ladyfingers, Hearts and Spurs, Two Kinds of Women, The Everlasting Whisper, The Secret of Black Mountain.

This is the third book in the story of the Byrne family, Irish farmers whose lives were overturned in Greener Grass, then tested so severely in Wild Geese. In Timber Wolf, Kit's younger brother, is now the focus. Jack is determined to make his mark in the rough-and-ready lumbering industry up the Ottawa river from late 1840s Bytown. The young boy, not yet a teenager but full of braggadocio, is sure that he can quickly learn to be a hard-muscled and brave rafts-man. But as the story opens, we find Jack lying on a rocky floor in the deep forest, sore and bruised - and in fact totally unaware of who and where he is. Throughout the story Jack gradually pieces together dreams, vague clues and reminders that tell him of his history - in the course of which comes to grips with mistakes he has made. One of the mistakes he remembers, was in leading his best friend Mick into a huge logjam whose explosion probably killed him. Guilt becomes the governing theme of Jack's recovery. At the same time he meets, is terrified by, and eventually guarded by a young wolf who appears out of the woods early in his ordeal - and also stumbles into a relationship with an aboriginal family whose young son's own stormy coming of age coincides with Jack's developing awareness.

In Caroline Pignat's more than able hands, this concluding piece of the Byrne family saga is engaging, funny, stirring, and ultimately most satisfying. Pignat's ability to weave well-researched historical details into her beautifully told tale is stunning. And the voice of the story - as was true in the previous volumes - carries an unmistakable lilt. This is an author who has learned how to create a yarn - this one especially appealing to middle-grade boy readers hungry for adventure.

1923. Gregory, an entertaining and successful American story teller of Westerns and other genres, whose authentic background descriptions come from the time he spent becoming a native son of each location. Timber-Wolf begins: Big Pine, tiny human outpost set well within the rim of the great southwestern wilderness country, was, like other aloof mountain settlements of its type, a place of infinite and monotonous quiet during most days of most years. Infrequently, however, for one reason or another, and at times seemingly for no reason whatever, came days of excitement. And, as those who knew the place said, when the denizens of Big Pine bestirred themselves into excitement they were never content until they skyrocketed into the seventh heaven of turbulence.

Excerpt from Timber WolvesVice and virtue flourish alike in town and country. The aphorism that one half the world does not know how the other half lives may well find its application here. So long as men continue to gather together in odd corners of the land, so long Will be found in their midst some whose presence owes itself to the fact that civilization will no longer tolerate them Openly. Such men admit no ties but those of self interest claim no kinship beyond the common origin. In the seclusion of the outback they are at liberty to revert to grossness unspeakable. For the character of Tom Login, therefore, it is felt that no apology is needed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
