About this book
Set deep in the Maine timber country, this 1922 novel by Holman Day pits independent woodsmen against the Comas Consolidated Paper Company, a combine bent on swallowing the region's small operators. Ward Latisan, a young timber cruiser, leads the resistance while corporate maneuvering and the strain of the fight test his resolve. Into that struggle steps a determined young woman whose courage rallies the log-drive crews and earns her the name that gives the book its title. Day builds the story around river drives, felled spruce, and the rough loyalties of camp life, subjects he returned to throughout his Maine fiction. Readers who enjoy early American adventure fiction will find a brisk tale of monopoly, honor, and the people who worked the northern forests.
