Law of the North (Originally published as Empery)

"Law of the North'' by Samuel Alexander White is a story of love and battle. The book is full of adventurous moments. Excerpt: «THE BREED OF THE NORTH Before Basil Dreaulond, the Hudson's Bay Company's courier, had won half the mile-long Nisgowan portage, the familiar noise of men toiling in pack-harness reached his ears. He stopped automatically and trained his hearing in mechanical analysis of the sound. This power had grown within him with every successive year of his wilderness life, and at once he was aware that a party of considerable size was packing across the boulder-strewn strip of woodland separating Kinistina Creek from Lac Du Longe.»
