Mr. Young’s stories of life in the northland all aim to catch and hold aspects of life which are fast disappearing as civilization penetrates the wilderness haunts of wolves and bears. “His pictures of nature as he saw it in that frozen world are remarkable, while the makeshifts to which he was forced to resort, the privations which he had to endure, give to the reader an insight into life in this north country such as has never been before portrayed.”

“The quite simple story of Brown, who is wrongfully suspected by his sweetheart and her mother, suffers in silence to shield the quite stereotyped villain, who would have been much more wisely dealt with if his weakness had had the tonic of publicity, and who inevitably wins the boat race.”—N. Y. Times.
“The lively plot, full of ingenious and surprising incidents, and the very striking dénouement make the reader unwilling to lay down the book until he has finished it.”
