The Trail Led North: Mont Hawthorne's Story
The Trail Led North Mont Hawthorne's Story Author:Martha Ferguson McKeown This is the true saga of Mont Hawthorne's life as told to his niece, Martha Ferguson McKeown. Mont Hawthorne went North for the silver salmon and the gold nugget in the wild, rough 80's and 90's. These were days when unwary young men were shanghaied onto the merchant ships, when fortunes were made and lost over night, when competitio... more »n was keen and cutthroat. Mont followed the hordes of gleaming fish and learned, with gruelling labor, the canning business. He tells of men who fought each other with knives, guns, and hatchets. He paints a huge canvas of people he knew -- Chinese, Italians, Russians, Englishmen, Canadians, Indians. An exciting history of life in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.« less
