Roderick Drew, a city boy, goes north into the Canadian forest with his friend Wabigoon and the old guide Mukoki for a winter of wolf hunting. Their trapline leads them to ancient skeletons, a buckskin bag and a hint of lost gold, while a hostile band called the Woongas stalks their camp through the snows.
A brisk boys’ wilderness adventure of 1908, drawing on Curwood’s own northern travels; its portrayal of Native characters is of its era. Download the free EPUB.
