The Honor of the Big Snows

Publisher Marketing: When a young half-breed French/Indian boy turns up with his violin at an isolated Canadian trading post, his life and the lives of all there change forever. This narrative begins with the death of a young wife and the commitment of two men to a baby girl. The story tells the life of these three people over a seventeen year period. Life is hard in the north and life often hangs by a thread. This is an adventure story with love, hardship and honor thrown in for good measure. The Honor of the Big Snows was written by the very prolific writer James Oliver Curwood in 1911. For those readers not familiar with his work, it is similar to stories by his better known contemporaries, Jack London and Zane Gray. A solid story, The Honor of the Big Snows is sure to appeal to many.
