Forgotten Books

Excerpt from The Golden Snare Bram, after nearly a century of this intermix ing of bloods, was a throwback - a white man, so far as his skin and his hair and his eyes went. In other physical ways he held to the type of his half strain Eskimo mother, except in size. He was six feet, and a giant in strength. His face was broad, his cheek-bones high, his lips thick, his nose ﬂat. And he was white. That was the shocking thing about it all. Even his hair was a reddish blonde, wild and coarse and ragged like a lion's mane, and his eyes were sometimes of a curious blue, and at others - when he was angered - green like a cat's at night-time.

Kazan, the Wolf Dog

The tale of a "quarter-strain wolf and three-quarters husky" torn between the call of the human and his wild mate. James Oliver Curwood, (June 12, 1878 – August 13, 1927), was an American novelist and conservationist. A great number of his works were turned into movies, several of which starred Nell Shipman as a brave and adventurous woman in the wilds of the north. Many films from Curwood's writings were made during his lifetime, as well as after his passing through to the 1950s. In 1988 French director Jean-Jacques Annaud used his 1916 novel, The Grizzly King to make the film The Bear. Annaud's success generated a renewed interest in Curwood's stories that resulted in five more films being produced in 1994 and 1995.
