Description
A tale of "the frozen nothingness" of the Canadian Northwest and of the Royal Mounted Police; a man whose greatest crime was in befriending a band of starving Indians is branded a criminal. Roger Mckay, outlaw and the girl from the "corner of hell" led the Royal Mounted on a grueling chase through the North Country -because he believed she was a murderer.
The Mountie is drawn, samurai-like, between his duty to the Crown, and his humanity toward anyone, outlaw or not, who is at base a good man. Not far from the rugged and storm-whipped north shore of Lake Superior, and south of the Kaministiqua, yet not as far south as the Rainy River waterway, there lay a paradise lost in the heart of wilderness world -and in that paradise "a little corner of hell."
"The Country Beyond" was a 1926 movie, starring Prince, the Great Dane of 20th century Fox studios, who claimed him to be the highest-priced canine villain in screendom.
Today most Americans are unfamiliar with Canada's grand history, but in Curwood's heyday American children were as apt to play at being red-coated Mounties as they were at being cowboys.
