Colorado Jim
George Goodchild drops a rough-edged American into the polished drawing rooms of London society, then out onto the frozen Yukon. Jim Conlan, born in Cornwall but raised in the American West, strikes it rich from a Colorado mine and heads east. In New York his fists pull him clear of a badger-game blackmail scheme; in London he saves a viscount from a train and is sponsored into an exclusive club where he never fits. There he falls hard for the beautiful, ice-cold Angela Featherstone, whose titled family is sliding toward ruin. When a bad investment wipes out his money, the couple heads north to the Klondike goldfields to start again. This 1922 novel pairs frontier grit with a sharp class-clash romance, and it suits readers who like plain-spoken heroes tested by both society and the wild.
