The narrative, which is set in the late 19th-century American West, centres on the adventures of Nan Brent, a mysterious and self-reliant young woman who becomes stuck in a desolate halfway house in the Wyoming wilderness. Nan gets entangled in the lives and struggles of the various people that dwell in the halfway house, such as innovators, cowboys, and outlaws, as she gets to know them. The main source of conflict is the rivalry between the homeowners and ranchers in the area as well as the potential for violence from a renown criminal group headed by Black Bart Haines. Nan's inventiveness and strong will make her an invaluable mediator in conflict resolution. As Nan works through the difficulties of life on the harsh western frontier, themes of justice, atonement, and the wild west are explored throughout the book. The storyline gains levels of mystery and suspense as Nan's true identity and her affiliation with the criminal gang become clear throughout the story.

Excerpt from Young Alaskans in the Far North "Well, fellows," said Jesse Wilcox, the youngest of the three boys who stood now at the ragged railway station of Athabasca Landing, where they had just disembarked, "here we are once more.

John Hardy and Rob McIntyre, his two companions, somewhat older than himself, laughed at him as he sat now on his pack-bag, which had just been tossed off the baggage-car of the train that had brought them hither. "You might wait for Uncle Dick," said John. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"For my part, I believe this is going to be about the best trip we ever had." "That's what I was telling Rob to-day," said John Hardy, setting down a pail of water near by. "But I hope I won't have to carry water up a bank a hundred feet high every night." "We are not as far north this time as we were last summer," said Jesse, "but the country looks something the same." "Yes," replied John, "but last year we were going east and farther away from home every day. Now we're going west to the Rockies and across them, getting closer to home all the time." Rob McIntyre, the oldest of our friends who had made so many trips together in the wilderness, sat silent, as was often his custom, smiling out of his frank blue eyes at his companions.
