Product Description: The Forfeit

"[...]enforcing of the prohibition laws, formulated by a dear, grandmotherly government in an excess of senile zeal for the welfare of the health and morals of those far better able to think for themselves. The laws of prohibition! The words stuck with Mr. Huntly as they stuck with every full-grown man and woman in the country outside the narrow circle of temperance advocates. The law was anathema to him. Under its influence the bettering, the purification of life in the Northwestern Territories had received a setback, which[...]".

Excerpt from The Triumph of John Kars: A Story of the YukonIt was the figure of a young woman. A long coat of beaver skin, and a cap of the same fur pressed down low over her ruddy brown hair, held her safe from the bitter chill of the late semi-arctic fall. She, too, was absorbed in the scene upon which she was gazing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Twins of Suffering Creek By Ridgwell Cullum A saloon operator discovers he has only days to live and decides to do something good rather than waste his time drinking and gambling. He looks after a pair of children who have been abandoned by their mother -- she's run off with another man and her husband is off hunting them down. But the good deed is the start of a lot of trouble and mayhem. This is a classic wild west adventure novel with gunslingers, shoot outs, a damsel in distress and an old-fashioned code.

They sat squarely gazing into each other's eyes. Bat Marker had only one mood to express. It was a mood that suggested determination to fight to a finish, to fight with the last ounce of strength, the last gasp of breath. He was sitting at the desk, opposite his friend and employer, Leslie Standing, and his small grey eyes were shining coldly under his shaggy, black brows. His broad shoulders were squared aggressively. There was far less display in the eyes of Leslie Standing. They were wide with a deep pre-occupation. But then Standing was of very different type. His pale face, his longish black hair, brushed straight back from an abnormally high forehead, suggested the face of a student, even a priest. Harker was something of the roused bull-dog, strong, rugged, furious; a product of earth's rough places. "Give us that last bit again." Bat's tone matched his attitude. It was abrupt, forceful, and he thrust out a hand pointing at the letter from which the other had been reading.
