With vivid descriptions of the rugged Canadian landscape and thrilling action sequences, Vane Of The Timberlands is a classic adventure story that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and wilderness tales.In some respects, Vane was glad to be back in the western city. At first, the ease and leisure at the Dene had their charm for him, but by degrees he came to chafe at them. The green English valley, hemmed in by its sheltering hills, was steeped in too profound a tranquillity; the stream of busy life passed it by with scarcely an entering ripple to break its drowsy calm. One found its atmosphere enervating, dulling to the faculties. In the new West, however, one was forcibly thrust into contact with a strenuous activity. Life was free and untrammeled there; it flowed with a fierce joyousness in natural channels, and one could feel the eager throb of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
