Over the Northern Border by Max Brand; Unabridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Tom Weiner

It was a fool thing to do, but Jack Trainor did it. In order to help keep his sister’s husband from going to jail for robbery, Jack agrees to ride out on the getaway horse, drawing suspicions away from his brother-in-law and onto himself. But eluding the posse that follows him in hot pursuit turns out to be much harder than Jack had thought. And he was not prepared to survive the winter in the Canadian wilderness.

Now not only a fugitive, but lost, Jack is rescued by a trapper in the mountains. Over the course of some months, the two men become companions, as Jack decides to repay the man’s kindness by helping him with his written correspondence. But this situation soon puts Jack in unexpected difficulty.

This is a classic western about the honor and friendships of the men of the frontier.

“[Max Brand’s stories] have defined the West for thousands of readers attracted to his bright, vigorous prose, making him one of America's most popular writers.”—Midwest Book Review
