The Gold Trail

Beschreibung

Set against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, this adventure novel follows a group of fortune-seekers on a perilous journey in search of gold. Along the way, they face harsh natural elements, treachery, and the moral dilemmas that arise when greed takes hold. Blending action, romance, and character drama, the story explores themes of perseverance, loyalty, and the true cost of ambition. English novelist Harold E. Bindloss spent a number of years in Western Canada during his youth. Because of these experiences, many of his novels deal with the prairies and their settlement. He produced over 30 such novels in addition to many other works, including In the Niger Country (1898), Wide Dominion (1899), Damaged Reputation (1908), Masters of the Wheat-Lands (1910), Carmen's Messenger (1917), The Girl From Keller's (1917), Sadie's Conquest (1918), Lister's Great Adventure (1920), Pine-Creek Ranch (1926), Border Trail (1931) Jungle Gold (1932) and Forbidden Rivers (1936).

Autor

Harold Bindloss was an English novelist who published a number of adventure tales set in western Canada, as well as in England and West Africa. His writing was mostly based on his own experiences as a seaman, dock worker, farmer, and planter. Bindloss was born on April 6, 1866 in Wavertree, Liverpool, England. The eldest son of Edward Williams Bindloss, an iron dealer who employed six men at the time of the 1881 census. Bindloss has three sisters and four brothers. He spent several years at sea and in several colonies, most notably in Africa, before returning to England in 1896, his health ravaged by malaria. He appears to have started out as a clerk in a shipping office, but this did not suit his adventurous nature, and he later became a farmer in Canada, a sailor, a dock worker, and a planter. He returned to England in 1896, likely from West Africa, afflicted with malaria. Given that he spent more than a decade at sea and in the colonies, it is likely that his time overseas was divided into two parts: first as a youth, and then as a young man after 1891.
