Lawrence, Albert Lathrop. Wolverine. 75c. Little.
A new popular edition of “The Wolverine.” The scene of this romance is laid in Michigan territory just before it becomes the Wolverine state. Perry North, a young man of New England blood, and pale orange colored hair, comes to Detroit from his home state, Massachusetts, as a government surveyor. He meets Marie Beaucoeur, and loves her in spite of the fact that her free French Catholic views of life are a constant shock to his Puritanical upbringing. It is only after many thrilling scenes such as naturally belong to that time and place where the Ohio boundary line was a constant source of trouble, and negroes and Indians added an unruly element, that young North comes to reconcile his conscience and his love.
