(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1925. Frontispiece by Frank B. Hoffman. Most of Curwood's stories were adventure tales set in the Canadian North, where the author spent much of his time. During the 1920s his books were among the most popular in North America, and many were made into movies. The River's End was the first book to sell more than 100,000 copies in its first edition. The Hunted Woman begins: It was all new-most of it singularly dramatic and even appalling to the woman who sat with the pearl-gray veil drawn closely about her face. For eighteen hours she had been a keenly attentive, wide-eyed, and partly frightened bit of humanity in this onrush of the horde. She had heard a voice behind her speak of it as the horde-a deep, thick, gruff voice which she knew without looking had filtered its way through a beard. She agreed with the voice. It was the Horde-that horde which has always beaten the trails ahead for civilization and made of its own flesh and blood the foundation of nations.
