The Courage of Captain Plum

Rollicking adventure...most of Curwood's books were set in the Northwest, but this one is very different. It's a historical novel of the Northeast in the early 1800s, and Captain Plum is most likely to have plenty of holes in his hide before the story is over.

I was particularly horrified by the concept of execution by being tied to a post in the wilderness...how utterly cruel a method it was! I have since encountered mentions of it in other books, but this was the first place I saw it.

The story is supposedly based on true events.

*Note to Mormon readers: do yourself a favor and skip this one...you won't enjoy it.
