About The Author

James Oliver "Jim" Curwood (1878 –1927) was an American action-adventure writer 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.
