Text source: http://www.gutenberg.ca/ebooks/curwood- ... -00-h.html (please only read from this text!)This truly is a tale of high hearts and open woods, full of colourful characters, adventure, romance, a despicable villain and a charming hero and heroine. The supporting cast are just as engaging, and help pull the story along in delightful and intriguing ways.
Clifton Brant has been through much in the Great War, but now that it's over, he must decide what to do with himself next. Returning to his small home town along the St. Lawrence River, Quebec, he soon has a run in with an old enemy, Ivan Hurd, and makes a new friend, Gaspard. Gaspard's family own a logging company which is facing ruin if the unpleasant Hurd has his way. Clifton falls instantly and madly in love with Gaspard's lovely sister Antoinette, although she appears to disdain his affection, and is determined to help save their company.
Excitement dogs Clifton’s footsteps in the logging camps of the vast northern forests as Gaspard fights a ‘duel’ for his love, storms cause havoc, and a drastic turn of events seems to doom their last chance to defeat Hurd's nefarious plans.
