It is to these two grand people that their son graciously dedicates this volume.
Had it not been for their understanding and guiding ways, I could never have attained and aspired to my goal in this life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first biography written on the life of the famous novelist, adventurer and conservationist, James Oliver Curwood.
Although Mr. Curwood’s books are still widely read, the younger generation knows comparatively little about the life of one of the greatest conservationists of all time and the man who knew the beautiful Canadian Northwest better than any other.
It is hoped, therefore, that this volume will refresh the memory of the past generation and at the same time bring something new to the minds of our present young people.
