From behind them there came a strange hooting cry. It was not a yell such as they had heard before. It was a booming far-reaching note that had in it the intonation of a drum--a sound that made one shiver because of its very strangeness.

Notă biografică

James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American novelist, short story writer, conservation advocate, and one of the most popular writers of northern adventure fiction in the early twentieth century. Born in Owosso, Michigan, Curwood became known for stories set in the Canadian wilderness, where hunters, trappers, Indigenous characters, settlers, dogs, wolves, bears, and other animals move through landscapes of danger, endurance, loyalty, and survival. His fiction helped define a popular strain of outdoor adventure writing that appealed to both younger readers and adults.Curwood's best-known works include Kazan, Baree, Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King, The Courage of Marge O'Doone, and The River's End. His animal stories are often compared with those of Jack London, though Curwood's later outlook became increasingly shaped by conservation and sympathy for wild creatures. His books remain of interest to readers of classic animal fiction, wilderness adventure, Canadian frontier stories, dog and wolf tales, and early twentieth-century popular literature.
