These stories of the Canadian North-West follow pioneers, ranchers, widows and wanderers on the prairie: a lodge in the wilderness, a famine and a heathen boy, healing springs, and a gnarled old settler determined to give nothing to the woman who has come west to claim her place. Published in 1909, the book is dedicated to Ishbel, Countess of Aberdeen.
Parker, a Canadian-born novelist who made his name in London, writes the West with a romantic eye and a quick sense of drama. Download the free EPUB.
