Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...for years, and he found no matches, but stumbled upon what the wood-mice had left of an old Company blanket. Again he searched the room for that which meant warmth and life, but in vain. Then the desperate youth set to work banking in the walls of the cache with snow to make it windproof. This accomplished, he sealed the low doorway and prepared to fight through the bitter hours for his life. His woolen clothes, thanks to the severe exercise, were partially dry; so were the socks he wore next his feet. The outer ones he took off, kneaded until they were soft, wrung out what moisture he could, and put on again. Scraping and pounding the ice from the heavy coat of the Prince, who, owing to the thick under-fur of soft hair and the hardihood of his breed, was immune to cold, Cristy made the dog lie down, and wrapping the blanket around them, clasped the great body closely to his own. Through the bitter hours the warmth of the dog's body alone kept the heart of his master beating and the blood moving in his feet and hands. At last the blue March dawn broke over the cache on the Rupert, and with it the wind fell. Later the rising sun overtook on the river trail a traveller with a ragged blanket slung on his back, and a slate-gray husky. Once the dog ran ahead, and turning, rushed yelping back to take in his jaws a mittened hand, and march, swishing a bushy tail, beside the man as if urging him to a faster pace. But the traveller, with head down and haggard eyes, swung stiffly on at the same stride, for Rupert House lay ninety white miles away, and one who starves must save his strength. Three days later old Michel opened the door of the trade-house at Rupert, stepped into the caribou thongs of his snow-shoes, and shuffled up the high river shore toward his cabin....

George Tracy Marsh (1876â€"1945) was a Lansingburgh-born lawyer and author of works often set in the Canadian wilderness. His tales of the North were based on his personal experiences hunting and fishing in that region as a young man, combined with a love of dogs which included both the huskies of the sub-Arctic and the airdales which sprawled about his home. His first book, Toilers of the Trails, was published in 1921. It was followed by seven other volumes before 1930. Other books have been published since that time. In addition, he had numerous short stories published in magazines. Some of his poems and stories were illustrated by many well-regarded artists including Maxfield Parrish, Newell Convers Wyeth, Frank Earle Schoonover, and Clifford Warren Ashley.
