Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt and Sanford Robinson Gifford. Two boys grow up in the same Ontario town, love the same girl, and meet again in a mining camp in the Rockies where one of them is the only doctor for a hundred miles. Charles Gordon wrote as Ralph Connor and knew the country first-hand: he was a Presbyterian missionary among exactly these camps, and his books sold in millions to readers who had never seen a mountain. Fifty-five plates by painters including Munch and Bierstadt carry the story's mountain and church imagery through nearly a century of landscape art.
