BURNING DAYLIGHT is the test work yet produced by
this masterful writer who has roughed it in many fields
of adventure. Burning Daylight is a character fashioned
out of the frozen North; how he comes out of the Klondike with
wealth won from the obdurate earth, is vanquished and stripped
of his millions in Wall Street, regains them, and returning to
the West from whence he came, is conquered anew by love,
then to renounce his riches, is told in the powerful style
of this author who has achieved world-wide popularity.
