FOREWORD

This is the first biography written on the life of

the famous novelist, adventurer and conservationist,

James Oliver Curwood.

Although Mr. Curwood’s books are still widely read, the

younger generation knows comparatively little about the

life of one of the greatest conservationists of all time

and the man who knew the beautiful Canadian Northwest

better than any other.

It is hoped, therefore, that this volume will refresh the

memory of the past generation and at the same time bring

something new to the minds of our present young people.
