Isobel

by James Oliver Curwood

Overview

"At Point Fullerton, one thousand miles straight north of civilization, Sergeant William Mac Veigh wrote with the stub end of a pencil between his fingers the last words of his semi-annual report to the Commissioner of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police at Regina."

Today most Americans are unfamiliar with Canada's grand history, but in Curwood's heyday American children were as apt to play at being red-coated Mounties as they were at being cowboys.
