Sixteen “tales of the blood-and-iron men of the Northland.” Stories of the trappers and the brave hearts that beat beneath their rough exteriors, stories of the Indians and the work of the Canadian mounted police; all are intensely dramatic and are told with much feeling and few words as befits the lonely snow-curtained land where passions are elemental and death is a matter of daily encounter. The tales include beside the title story; Jaquette, The silver fox, The current of fear, Wa-gush, Follette, The talking of Almighty voice, and others.
