In pathos it reaches the high level of "The Sky Pilot." In
atmosphere it is "The Man from Glengarry." In action it rivals
"Black Rock."

"'Ralph Connor' is some man's nom de plume. The world would insist
on knowing whose. He has gone into the Northwest Canadian mountains
and painted for us a picture of life in the mining camps of
surpassing merit. With perfect wholesomeness, with exquisite
delicacy, with entire fidelity, with truest pathos, with freshest
humor, he has delineated character, has analyzed motives and
emotions, and has portrayed life. Some of his characters deserve
immortality, so faithfully are they created."--_St. Louis
Globe-Democrat._
The world _has_ known and today Ralph Connor has been accorded the
signal honor of seeing his books, by virtue of their sterling
worth, attain a sale of over one and one-half million copies.
