This volume contains seven amazing novels, among the first ones written by British adventurer RIDGWELL CULLUM. He left England at age seventeen to go gold-prospecting in the Transvaal. He then removed to the Cape of Good Hope, where he joined up with a league of freebooters fighting against the Boers. Unable to keep still, he crossed the seas and settled in the Yukon region of Canada. During his stay in that area, he narrowly escaped starving to death. He next crossed the Canadian border, and became a successful cattle-rancher in Montana. In 1903, he published his first novel (the first in this volume). After its immediate success, he became a full-time writer, and wrote dozens of very successful novels of adventure in the Yukon in the North West of the United States.
Several of them where made into movies.
The novels in this volume are the following:
The Watchers Of The Plains
The One-Way Trail
The Twins Of Suffering Creek
The Law-Breakers
The Son Of His Father
The Men Who Wrought
The Triumph Of John Kars
