This new Cullum novel is a tale of pioneer life on the Yukon-Alaska frontier; it has all the author’s familiar qualities—strength of story, vividness of description, rapidity of action, and sure development of character.
Bill Wilder, the Canadian gold-king, is one of Cullum’s finest creations, and the reader will follow him breathlessly in his adventures with the fur trappers and gold prospectors, and in his search for “the lost white girl,” who proves to be “The Kid.” The story of the English missionary who loses his life on the gold trail, and the Indian servant who lives only to avenge his death, is a thrilling one, which gains in interest on every page.
