Fur Pirates
Author of "Precious Water," "The Peacemaker" Etc.
This novel is not for the man who lives softly. It is full of peril, adventure, hardship. The setting is the same that Chisholm has made us familiar with In many stories—the fur country, the Land of Romance to the man who tells the tale. It's about a group of thieves who stole $100,000 worth of furs from the posts and cached them. Where they were cached became a lost secret till a skeleton pointed the way. This is just a hint at the series of eventful things that fill these pages. Chisholm has never written a story that has surpassed this. Reading it, you will be reminded of another great romance, widely different as to setting but with something of the same motif, told by a master of English whose books have outlived their author.
