The Silver Horde is a classic novel written by Rex E. Beach. The story takes place in Alaska during the early 20th century, where a group of fishermen known as the ""Silver Horde"" are struggling to make a living. The main character, Boyd Emerson, arrives in town and falls in love with a local woman named Cherry Malotte. Together, they try to help the Silver Horde by introducing new fishing techniques and equipment. However, their efforts are met with resistance from the corrupt and powerful businessman, McNamara, who wants to maintain his monopoly over the fishing industry. The story is full of action, adventure, romance, and suspense, as the characters fight for their livelihoods and love in the harsh and unforgiving environment of Alaska. The Silver Horde is a timeless tale of perseverance, courage, and the power of love.1909. Illustrated. Rex Beach was well on his way to becoming a lawyer when he was hit by Gold Rush Fever and left for the Klondike to strike it rich. He never found gold, but his travels had sparked his imagination and he began to write. His tales of adventures quickly made him into a popular author. The Silver Horde begins: The trail to Kalvik leads down from the northward mountains over the tundra which flanks the tide flats, then creeps out upon the salt ice of the river and across to the village. It boasts no travel in summer, but by winter an occasional toil-worn traveler may be seen issuing forth from the Great Country beyond, bound for the open water; while once in thirty days the mail-team whirls out of the forest to the south, pauses one night to leave word of the world, and then is swallowed up in the silent hills. Kalvik, to be sure, is not much of a place, being hidden away from the main-travelled routes to the interior and wholly unknown except to those interested in the fisheries.
