About Author

Stewart Edward White

Stewart Edward White was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1895 he received a B.A. degree from the University of Michigan, followed by an M.A. in 1903. From about 1900 until about 1922, he wrote fiction and non-fiction about adventure and travel, with an emphasis on natural history and outdoor living. In 1922, he began writing "received" spiritual accounts with his wife Elizabeth "Betty" Grant White, who was credited with channelling spirits. He and his wife also wrote about their travels in California.

A story of two men hired by the Hudson's Bay Company to ensure the honor system existing between the Indians and HBCO remains untainted by a defaulter. Set in a time when roads in Ontario's north country hadn't even been dreamed about, the story covers hundreds of miles over four seasons. It is likely that the details are more accurate and believable due to the fact that it is not a historical fiction but written as a current day thriller of 1904.
