[Gutenberg 11668] • The Gold Hunters / A Story of Life and Adventure in the Hudson Bay Wilds

• Two of American author James Curwood’s best-selling adventure classics from the early 1900s are bound together in this Kindle book: The Golden Snare & The Gold Hunters

The Golden Snare (1921)

Lawman Philip Raine is on the trail of Bram Johnson, a suspected murderer who commands a pack of wolves. Bram possesses a curious item, a golden snare woven from a woman's delicate flaxen hair. What could these two people possibly share? It is a mystery Philip feels compelled to solve as he tracks Bram across the Canadian tundra.

The Gold Hunters (1909)

The story involves three men, a map and a hidden treasure. A young white man, his half- breed friend, and a wise Indian sage hunt for gold hidden in the northern reaches of the Canadian outback. But the map seems to be misleading them. Each day offers a new adventure and brings them closer to danger.

This book is the Sequel to The Wolf Hunters, although it can also be read as a completely separate novel.

About The Author

James Oliver Curwood (1878 –1927) was an American action-adventure author whose best-selling books consistently ranked among the most read in the United States in the early 1900s.

Almost 20 Hollywood films have been made based on his western frontier novels including “The Bear.” When he died, in 1927, Curwood was the highest paid (per word) author in the world.

Curwood Castle, his writing studio in Owosso, Michigan, is now a museum.
