""The Call of the North"" is a novel written by Stewart Edward White. The story is set in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th century. The protagonist, Dale, is a young man who is determined to strike it rich in the gold fields. He sets out on a perilous journey to reach the Yukon, facing numerous challenges along the way, including harsh weather conditions, dangerous animals, and treacherous terrain. Once he arrives, he must navigate the cut-throat world of gold mining, where greed and violence reign supreme. Dale must also confront his own inner demons, including his obsession with striking it rich and his conflicted feelings about the native people of the region. Through his experiences, Dale learns valuable lessons about the true meaning of wealth and the importance of human connection. ""The Call of the North"" is a thrilling adventure story that also explores deeper themes of greed, morality, and the human spirit.Virginia did not sleep at all that night. She was reaching toward her new self. Heretofore she had ruled those about her proudly, secure in her power and influence. Now she saw that all along her influence had in not one jot exceeded that of the winsome girl. She had no real power at all. They went mercilessly on in the grim way of their fathers, dealing justice even-handed according to their own crude conceptions of it, without thought of God or man. She turned hot all over as she saw herself in this new light--as she saw those about her indulgently smiling at her airs of the mistress of it. It angered her--though the smile might be good-humored, even affectionate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
