About the Author
James Oliver Curwood (1878–1927), who wrote more than 30 novels and 200 articles and short stories, was among the top ten bestselling authors of the 1920s and the highest paid — per word — at the time of his death. His tales of adventure, based on his experiences in the Canadian Northwest, formed the basis for 20 movies. Curwood was an enthusiastic hunter who later became a prominent advocate for conservation and wildlife and served on the Michigan Conservation Commission.
