For four long years, Derwent Conniston has chased outlaw John Keith across the Canadian Arctic. Conniston, a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, falls gravely ill in the course of his dogged pursuit, and to his amazement the accused murderer comes to his rescue. Although they're on opposite sides of the law, the two men find they have a remarkable lot in common, including an uncanny physical resemblance. By the time Conniston realizes that his sickness is fatal, he has come to believe in Keith's professed innocence. The unlikely friends and virtual twins devise a daring plot in which they swap identities in order to give Keith a chance to redeem himself. Upon his return to the scene of the crime in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Keith assumes his new role as a Mountie and begins an investigation to clear his name -- only to fall into a plot involving blackmail, murder, and forbidden love. James Oliver Curwood's firsthand knowledge of the Canadian Northwest adds a rugged realism to this bestselling novel of action and romance. Readers with a taste for stories in the robust style of Jack London and Zane Grey will savor this frontier adventure.

Pierre Gourdon had the love of God in his heart, a man's love for a man's God, and it seemed to him that in this golden sunset of a July afternoon the great Canadian wilderness all about him was whispering softly the truth of his faith and his creed. For Pierre was the son of a runner of the streams and forests, as that son's father had been before him, and love of adventure ran in his blood, and romance, too; so it was only in the wild and silent places that he felt the soul in him attuned to that fellowship with nature which the good teachers at Ste. Anne de Beaupr did not entirely approve. Nature was Pierre's God, and would ever be until he died. And though he had crept up the holy stair at Ste. Anne's on his knees, and had touched the consecrated water from the sacred font, and had looked with awe upon mountains of canes and crutches left by those who had come afflicted and doubting and had departed cured and believing, still he was sure that in this sunset of a certain July afternoon he was nearer to the God he desired than at any other time in all his life. Josette, his wife, slender and tired, her dark head bare in the fading sun, stood wistful and hoping at his side, praying gently that at last their long wanderings up the St. Lawrence and along this wilderness shore of Superior had come to an end, and that they might abide in this new paradise, and never travel again until the end of their days.

Flower of the North: A Modern Romance by James Oliver Curwood. James Oliver "Jim" Curwood, June 12, 1878 - August 13, 1927, was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among Publishers Weekly top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early 1920s. At least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories. At the time of his death, he was the highest paid (per word) author in the world. His writing studio, Curwood Castle, is now a museum in Owosso, Michigan. Curwood's adventure writing followed in the tradition of Jack London. Like London, Curwood set many of his works in the wilds of the Great Northwest and often used animals as lead characters (Kazan; Baree, Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King and Nomads of the North). Many of Curwood's adventure novels also feature romance as primary or secondary plot consideration.

The River's End by James Oliver Curwood. The River's End is a 1919 western novel by the American writer James Oliver Curwood. A Mountie pursues an escaped convict, but later attempts to clear his name. Between Conniston, of His Majesty's Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and Keith, the outlaw, there was a striking physical and facial resemblance. Both had observed it, of course. It gave them a sort of confidence in each other. Between them it hovered in a subtle and unanalyzed presence that was constantly suggesting to Conniston a line of action that would have made him a traitor to his oath of duty. For nearly a month he had crushed down the whispered temptings of this thing between them. He represented the law. He was the law. For twenty-seven months he had followed Keith, and always there had been in his mind that parting injunction of the splendid service of which he was a part

Flower of the North By James Oliver Curwood

A tale of a great fight in the "valley of gold" for a woman... For the first time she betrayed the struggle she was making against some powerful emotion which she was fighting to repress. Her face had paled. She stopped herself with a quick breath, as if knowing that she had already gone too far. "I guess I understand," said Aldous. "For some reason your anxiety is not that you will find him dead, Ladygray, but that you may find him alive."
