Description
• Two of American author James Oliver Curwood’s best-selling action adventure tales are bound together in this Kindle book: The Courage of Captain Plum & The Valley of Silent Men
The Courage of Captain Plum.
This feverish 48-hour adventure story involves young Nathaniel Plum and a nasty cult of Mormons, set in 1856 on an offshore island in Lake Michigan. Plum is the captain of a sloop loaded with barrels of gunpowder. Alongside his adventures, there is romance and a hint of a sexual relationship.
WARNING: While author James Oliver Curwood (1876-1927) is a well-known action and adventure writer, readers note this book contains scenes of torture, imprisonment, and death by execution. It may not be suitable for some young readers.
The Valley of Silent Men, A Story of the Three River Country (1920)
James Kent is terminally ill. With only days to live, he confesses to a murder and saves an innocent man. The problem is that nobody believes him, particularly Marette, a woman who has mysteriously shown up only weeks earlier. This mystery is filled with suspense, action and romance in the Great White North where The Valley of Silent Men is hidden.
