Chapter II: Foreword

This is the first biography written on the life of
the famous novelist, adventurer and conservationist,
James Oliver Curwood.

Although Mr. Curwood’s books are still widely read, the
younger generation knows comparatively little about the
life of one of the greatest conservationists of all time
and the man who knew the beautiful Canadian Northwest
better than any other.

It is hoped, therefore, that this volume will refresh the
memory of the past generation and at the same time bring
something new to the minds of our present young people.
