From the jacket: "It was in the days when the rival fur companies carried on bitter war and when the factor of a post had to be a strong man. Such a man was Paul Carlisle, whom the Hudson Bay Company thought good enough to take charge of their most important post. But to Paul's fight was added a new difficulty, the love of a rival company chief's daughter. What follows is the big story of a man's fight for his own honour and a woman's love.
