James Oliver Curwood 
The Alaskan 

This is the tale of a young woman who embarks on an exciting expedition full of serendipitous happenings. She solves a mystery, meets a lot of new people, and aids her father in deceiving his adversary. A young woman sets off on her own into the wilderness of Alaska at the beginning of this tale in an effort to flee her traumatic past. The story then moves on to a young guy who fiercely defends the people, the culture, and the way of life in this snowbound nation. Finally, the story introduces a rapacious profiteer whose sole concern is to line his own pockets. The moment these three people cross paths on the desolate, snow-covered plains, there is a clash of ideologies and sparks start to fly.
