This richly populated novel vividly depicts the exotic and rootless people who wound their way to the Canadian Northwest. It is a powerful modern legend that ranges over all aspects of the human heart and mind, incorporating passion and hatred, tragedy and triumph.

About the Author
Stephen Leacock helped OHagan obtain employment with the Canadian Pacific Railroad recruiting farm labourers from England. He also worked for the Canadian National Railroad in Jasper and in New York and for the Argentine National Railroad in Buenos Aires.
While living in San Francisco in the thirties, OHagan began a series of sketches of guides, mountain men, and trappers that formed the background for his novelTay John (1939), which he completed on an island in Howe Sound on the British Columbia coast.
One of the first western Canadians to make a major contribution to Canadian literature, OHagan found occasional work in the fifties as a journalist in Victoria, British Columbia, and as a labourer on the waterfront and on survey crews.
In 1963 OHagan moved to Sicily, where he lived for more than a decade. He returned to Victoria in 1974.
Howard OHagan died in Victoria in 1982.
