About this book
A hungry dog brings Keith Steadman an urgent appeal for help in the snowbound Yukon wilderness. Travelling toward Klassan with a sled and dwindling supplies, the experienced trailsman must weigh his own needs against those of a stranger. His rough camp, a shared scrap of bacon and the threat of wolves give this adventure novel a practical sense of life on the winter trail. Keith's religious faith helps shape his decision to seek the person who sent the message.
In Klassan, the missionary faces another kind of danger when a miners' meeting appoints a committee to investigate a theft. Pritchen controls the proceedings, while Keith asks how the inquiry will handle guilt within its own ranks. The contrast between wilderness survival and disputed justice gives the story its interest: courage involves both physical endurance and the effort to secure fair treatment in a rough settlement.
