On a spring day near Walla Walla a gang of convicts builds road beside the Northern Pacific line, and one man among them is plainly unlike the rest. The story carries him north into the spruce country of British Columbia, to swift rivers, canoe journeys with a young woman named Beatrice, and loyalty to old Ezram, who once gave him his one chance.
A vigorous northwoods adventure in the vein of James Oliver Curwood, for readers who like wilderness and redemption. Download the free EPUB.
