“James Oliver Curwood is a nature writer. He belongs to the school of which Ernest Thompson-Seton-Thompson (or however he parts it now) might be said to be the grand old man. For many years Mr. Curwood took a gun, walked out and shot the beasties in their native lairs. Now he is sorry; and he makes amends by writing vivid narratives of animal life. On the whole, he does it quite as well as any one else whom we recall at the moment; and he gets a very readable book out of the effort.” -California Outlook “James Oliver Curwood first entered the newspaper field, where he rose rapidly to the editorship of the Detroit News-Tribune. But he spent his vacations in the Canadian northland, and thereby hang many stirring tales. Besides exploring for himself, Mr. Curwood has been official explorer for the Canadian government, and has made himself the authority on northern Canada. He writes ‘good yarns,’ notable for rapidity of action and truth to character and setting. It is high praise that Canadian guides devour his stories and say that he knows animals and men as they do. The explanation lies in Mr. Curwood’s method of work. He goes into the wilds to study the wilds, not to discover story material; and if a story results he writes it, but not otherwise. Up to this time some twenty novels have resulted, and a multitude of readers hope for many more.” -The Michigan Alumnus “The novelist who can carry a weary reviewer off his feet, as it were, make him forget his professional attitude towards books, and give him back, if only for an hour or so, the early enjoyment of days when he read tales of adventure for pleasure only, is a magician. And over one of them, at least, Mr. Curwood has lifted his magic wand.” -New York Observer “Mr. Curwood always writes eloquently and lovingly of the great northern wilds, and never more so than here.” -The Outlook CONTENTS Back to God's Country The Yellow-Back The Fiddling Man L'ange The Case of Beauvais The Other Man's Wife The Strength of Men The Match The Honor of Her People Bucky Severn His First Penitent Peter God The Mouse
