About this ebook
Excerpt: "You can laugh too much. You can be too cheerful. You can look too much on the sunny side of life. You wont believe this and neither did Bobby McTabb. But McTabb proved.it out. It took the girl to help him—Kitty Duchene was her name—tall and sweet to look upon, with those pure blue eyes, dark with the beauty of violets, that go so well with hair which is brown in the shadow and gold in the sun. They proved it out together, all of a sudden. It is their story. And it will never be believed. But it's the truth."
About the author
James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American author and conservationist whose life and work were deeply intertwined with the wilderness he so passionately loved. Born in Owosso, Michigan, Curwood's early fascination with the natural world led him to become one of the most popular writers of adventure and wilderness tales in the early 20th century. His vivid storytelling and rich descriptions of the American and Canadian wilderness captivated readers, transporting them to remote and untamed landscapes.Curwood's literary career began as a journalist, but he soon turned to fiction, where his works often featured rugged heroes and the majestic beauty of nature. His novels and short stories were not just thrilling adventures; they also carried a strong conservation message, reflecting his personal commitment to preserving the environment. This dedication culminated in his appointment as a member of the Michigan Conservation Commission, where he played a significant role in advocating for wildlife protection and sustainable forestry practices.Despite his success, Curwood's life was not without controversy. He faced criticism from some quarters for his romanticized portrayal of the wilderness and its inhabitants, which some argued glossed over the harsh realities of frontier life. Nevertheless, his influence on contemporary writers and the genre of wilderness adventure fiction is undeniable. Curwood's work inspired a generation of authors and filmmakers, and his legacy as a pioneering conservationist continues to resonate in today's environmental movement.Curwood's adventurous spirit extended beyond his writing; he was an avid outdoorsman, often embarking on expeditions that provided the raw material for his stories. His home in Owosso, known as Curwood Castle, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy, attracting visitors and literary enthusiasts from around the world.
