Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest

By Stewart Edward White (1 873-1 946)

In the northern outreaches of the Canadian wilderness, it was
understood that the Hudson Bay Company governed all trading, and
one factor named Galen Albret took his position seriously. Free
traders, or those who dared try to do their trading outside of the
Company, found themselves having to face Galen Albret and his
methods of dealing with them. One or two offenses he might
tolerate, but for those who repeatedly refuse to acknowledge his warning out, he would
send them on "La Longue Traverse" through the wilderness without supplies, and from
which they seldom returned.

Ned Trent was one such free trader who defied both the Company and Galen Albret. The
defining difference between Ned and the other free traders however, was his youth,
energy, and good looks, which the Factor's daughter did not fail to recognize. What
follows the initial confrontations between Ned, Galen Albret, and his daughter Virginia
makes for a thrilling tale of adventure, daring, survival, and romance. (Summary by
