The Danger Trail [Paperback]

James Oliver Curwood (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 3, 2006

That's what I'm doing, M'seur--helping Meleese. I would have done her a greater service if I had killed you back there on the trail and stripped your body for those things that would be foul enough to eat it. I have told you a dozen times that it is God's justice that you die. And you are going to die--very soon, M'seur.

About the Author

James Oliver Curwood lived most of his life in Owosso, Michigan, where he was born on June 12, 1878. His first novel was The Courage of Captain Plum (1908) and he published one or two novels each year thereafter, until his death on August 13, 1927. Owosso residents honor his name to this day, and Curwood Castle (built in 1922) is the town's main tourist attraction. During the 1920s Curwood became one of America's best selling and most highly paid authors. This was the decade of his lasting classics The Valley of Silent Men (1920) and The Flaming Forest (1921). He and his wife Ethel were outdoors fanatics and active conservationists. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: The Danger Trail (Kindle Edition)

This is the second book set in northern Canada that I've read by this author. I liked Isobel: A Romance of the Northern Trail better, but this one is definitely worth reading. It's about a railroad builder who finds himself in danger after meeting a woman. The author does a good job of combining mystery, romance and action to keep the story moving and to make you curious about what will happen next. I wish he had written more about living in the cold and snow to make you feel like you're really in northern Canada. I found the ending to be a little weak, but I can't explain why without giving the ending away. Other than that it's a very good book.
