The Yukon Trail
Dustjacket Endflap
Into the land where might makes right, where lives Colby Macdonald, the big man of the North, with all of the strength and brutality and ruthlessness which the men of the North admire, there comes young Elliot, an agent for the government, representing a new order and a new social conscience, and conservation instead of exploitation. The paths of the two men cross early, then there enters the girl, Sheba O'Neill, and there follows a crisply entertaining story which moves at a rapid, virile pace against a background of rugged mountains, wide spaces and untamed nature.
