Roy Glenister and Dextry are gold miners who strike it rich in Nome, Alaska until their claim is “jumped", seemingly by legal means and by powerful politicians, crooked lawyers, and a judge. The political establishment seems too powerful to fight. How can they get their claim (and money) back from a mafia-like organization in frontier Alaska?
Roy is an honest man driven by frustration, despair, and disappointment, and loves to do things he never thought he would. How can he fight an organization that has the law in its pocket? There is “law” and then there is “frontier law.”
The story is based on actual events in Nome during the heyday of the Alaska gold rush.
Michigan-born Rex Beach was on his way to becoming a lawyer before the Alaska Gold Rush caught his attention and he headed there to make his fortune. Unfortunately, five years later he was still looking for it and, realizing that he wasn’t going to find it in gold prospecting, he turned to writing.
