Description
The Country beyond by James Oliver Curwood, 1922.James Oliver "Jim" Curwood (1878 - 1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among Publishers Weekly top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early 1920s. At least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories. At the time of his death, he was the highest paid (per word) author in the world.Curwood was an avid hunter in his youth; however, as he grew older,he became an advocate of environmentalism and was appointed to theMichigan Conservation Commission in 1926. The change in his attitudetoward wildlife can be best expressed by a quote from The Grizzly King:"The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live."
