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 review is from: Isobel : a Romance of the Northern Trail (Kindle Edition)
This is quite good- it was written in 1913 and is about a Mountie in northern Canada in 1908-10 who meets a woman, loses track of her and tries to find her again. There's a lot more to it than just the romance mentioned in the title- action scenes, an orphaned girl, dogsledding, a gun fight and survival through cold winters. Jack London does a better job of making you feel like you're actually out there in a blizzard along with the characters, but this is still an enjoyable story that can be read in one evening.
