In the Maine woods, where logs ride the spring floods from dam to dam, the lumber king Pulaski D. Britt controls the water and can strand his rivals’ drives at will. A young man who rises among the river drivers and an heiress of the timber country are caught up in his war on small operators, with log jams, fires, hard-drinking woodsmen and backwoods politics.
