Five hundred passengers had been turned away when Mary Standish broke through the crowd and fought her way on board ship like a little wildcat. And the Captain let her stay. Who was she? What was her mission in the far reaches of the North? The best of Curwood is in the Alaskan -- a novel of America's own last frontier, the fascinating story of Alan Holt, in whose blood flows the very life and spirit of the North; the story, too, of Mary Standish, as mysterious as she is desperate, as impetuous as she is beautiful and as lovely as the dawn of an Alaskan day.

Flaming Forest, The

Even in the feverish haze that follows a gunshot wound, David Carrigan realized he had not acted in the customarily capable way expected of him as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Three days before, he had started northward on the trail of Black Roger, the merciless murderer who menaced the trapping country. Now, he found himself a prisoner in the camp of St. Pierre, last of the great, all-powerful traders who bowed to no authority. To add to his dismay, he had been outwitted and captured by a mere girl -- Jeanne Boulain, whose dark beauty was more than enough to make a man forget his duty. David was soon to realize he had run into a situation that made the quest for Black Roger seem almost unimportant. Who was St. Pierre? No one had ever seen him, though tales of his might were legendary. What was his interest in Black Roger -- and who did Jeanne fit into the scheme of things? Why was Carmin Fanchet, the fascinating adventuress whose wiles had failed to save her brother from the Mounties, staying in this oddly luxurious camp? How Carrigan found the astonishing answers to these questions is a story of adventure and intrigue, vividly portrayed by that writer who knows the romantic North country so well. James Oliver Curwood is the author of "God's Country and the Woman", "The Danger Trail" and many other thrilling tales of the last frontier.

Plains of Abraham, The

Scarcely more than children, they faced alone one of the great tragedies of history. Danger before them -- the pitiless scourge of the Senecas behind them -- Jeems and Toinette went forth into the wilderness, their heads held high, like a young god and goddess. Of their capture by the Senecas, that deadliest of all frontier tribes; their amazing experiences in the Hidden City, the secret stronghold of the Indians; of their separation and Jeem's long years of lonely wandering; of all their hardships and their ultimate happiness -- Mr. Curwood has written the finest book of his career. It is a story of the most tragic page of our history -- the days of New France -- and Mr. Curwood preserves it, in this romance of Jeems and Toinette, in all its bigness. And his love of the woods and all outdoor things have never been more perfectly expressed.
