Tales of the Hudson Bay region—Shut two men up together for several years, holding some lonely post on the coldest fringe of civilization, and a strange drama of character against character will be inevitable. The rest of the world is nowhere. In the extreme quiet of the snows things take on a new proportion. The result is human drama. It is of such stuff that Duncan Campbell Scott makes his stories. Without an extra word or false sentiment he penetrates the queer twists and turns of character that lie beneath the rugged taciturnity of his Scotsmen, the men who have left an old civilization for the lonely spaciousness of the Hudson Bay region of Canada.—Dust Jacket.
