About the Book
The Valley Of Silent Men A Story Of The Three River Country is a fictional story book written by James Oliver Curwood. James Kent, who is terminally sick and may not have many days left to live, chooses to confess to a murder in order to save the life of an innocent man. No one, especially Marette, an enigmatic girl who had just recently appeared in Athabasca Landing, believed his confession. When Kent's sickness changes and his death is postponed, he decides to know more about the girl, with whom he ends up falling in love, despite the fact that she won't tell him anything about her background or what she knows about the crime. In the furthest regions of the Great White North, where three major rivers—the Athabasca, the Slave, and the McKenzie—flow and where something is hidden. It is a story of intrigue, suspense, action, and—above all—love.
James Oliver Curwood was an American action-adventure author and conservationist who lived from June 12, 1878, until August 13, 1927. His stories frequently occurred in Yukon, Alaska, or the Hudson Bay region. In the early and middle 1920s, they frequently appeared in the top 10 best sellers in the US. Curwood was the most-paid author in the world (per word) at the time of his death. Curwood attended the University of Michigan after being born in Owosso, Michigan. He sold his first story in 1898 when he was a college student. He was employed by the Canadian government in 1907 to produce and publish travelogues. He spent several months each year in the Yukon, Alaska, and the Hudson Bay region in search of new inspiration. American novelist William Curwood wrote adventure novels set in the Great Northwest. Many of his stories had romance as a main or secondary story element and included animals as main characters (Kazan; Baree, Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King). His 1919 novel The River's End, which sold more than 100,000 copies, was one of his best-selling works. Throughout his career, a number of intellectual and popular journals published his short tales and other writing.
