1922. Most of Curwood's stories were adventure tales set in the
Canadian North, where the author spent much of his time. During the
1920s his books were among the most popular in North America, and
many were made into movies. The River's End was the first book to
sell more than 100,000 copies in its first edition. The Alaskan
begins: Captain Rifle, gray and old in the Alaskan Steamship
service, had not lost the spirit of his youth along with his years.
Romance was not dead in him, and the fire which is built up of
clean adventure and the association of strong men and a mighty
country had not died out of his veins. He could still see the
picturesque, feel the thrill of the unusual, and-at times-warm
memories crowded upon him so closely that yesterday seemed today,
and Alaska was young again, thrilling the world with her wild call
to those who had courage to come and fight for her treasures, and
live-or die. See other titles by this author available from
