Any variations in detail from actual occurrences as seen by my own eyes are solely for the purpose of screening living descendants of those whose lives are here portrayed from prying curios ity; but, in truth, many experiences during the thrilling days of the fur companies were far too harrowing for recital. I would fain have tem pered some Of the incidents herein related to suit the sentiments of a milk-and-water age; but that could be done only at the cost of truth.

Reviews

[Leszek · Rating 3 out of 5]

Today this book would be labelled young adult fiction. It's an adventure novel not unlike Karl May's Winnetou, heavy with exaggeratedly stylised language, boasting an uncomplicated plot and characters, and a touch of period-distinctive racism. Not terrible, not great.
