Description

One Of The Most Tender Love Stories Set In The Far Northwest In God’s Country And The Woman

James Oliver Curwood is one of the most highly regarded action-adventure authors of the 20th century. In his famous book, God’s Country and the Woman, he depicts a vivid image of the Canadian north-western territory as well as the struggle of ordinary people against outlaws and huge companies.

Curwood was an avid hunter in his youth, and although he changed his views as he grew older and eventually became an environmentalist, he kept his love for the Canadian northwestern territory which was also called God’s Country.

He started writing in his youth and he eventually started publishing his works in the Detroit News-Tribune. By 1909 he already managed to save enough money to allow him to pack his bags and go for the wild territory in the North-west of Canada. Here, he found the inspiration to write most of his books which would not only become extremely popular, but which would also make Curwood the highest-paid writer per word of that time. His success as a writer also allowed him to travel for several months per year back to Canada, build a castle in the style of the French Chateau while also writing 30 action-adventure novels set in this wild location.

Curwood also employed romantic motifs in his books, and God’s Country and the Woman makes no exception. The novel’s hero is Pillip Weyman, a wilderness expert who agrees to offer a helping hand to Josephine Adare and her family in fighting evil outlaws on the background of a huge fight between the Barton and Russet Lumber companies.

Anyone who enjoyed books by Jack London or similar works set in the wild northwest of Canada will certainly enjoy James Oliver Curwood’s God’s Country and the Woman.
