Opis

No country has had as many stories written about its national police force as Canada. The sterling image of the scarlet-coated Mountie was almost as familiar a symbol as the ubiquitous cowboy in American fiction. And nowhere was he more popular than in the dynamic pulp fiction magazines. During the '20s, '30s, and '40s, tales featuring rugged Mounties maintaining the law of the untamed North were so popular that a number of authors built careers specializing in their exploits. This is a generous collection of such stories, as flamboyant and red-blooded as the publications in which they first appeared.
