"She's what you thought she was, Stevens," replied Aldous. "As pure and as sweet as she looks. The kind we like to fight for."

"I was sure of it, Aldous. That's why I sent the kid for you. I saw her in your cabin—after the outfit went to hell. When I come back to camp, Quade was here. I was pretty well broken up. Didn't talk to him much. But he seen I had lost everything. Then he went on down to your place. He told me that later. But I guessed it soon as he come back. I never see him look like he did then.

Suspenseful, Enjoyable Read

I have read many of Curwood's books and own some of his originals. I think this is one of his best. It tends to be a bit melodramatic at times, but is typical of the time in which it was written. Curwood develops a number of subplots that unite by the end of the book into
