Description

Set against the muddy streets of early‑twentieth‑century Edmonton, the story opens with Cameron, a quiet, uneasy newcomer, watching the chaotic life of the Alberta Hotel from the boardwalk. He watches rough‑spoken fur traders, a tin‑whistle piper, and a sudden, tense entrance by a lone rider on a buckskin horse whose name—Bulldog Carney—stops the room in its tracks. The bar erupts in bawdy humor and clashing tempers, painting a vivid picture of a town teetering between lawlessness and fleeting camaraderie.

Amid the din, a hulking figure named Jack Wolf arrives, his fierce stare promising both strength and danger. As the Salvation Army band blares and drunken insults fly, the fragile peace shatters, hinting at a brewing conflict that will test loyalties and survival. Listeners are drawn into a gritty, fast‑moving world where every shout and gunshot could change the balance of power on the frontier.

William Alexander Fraser

1859–1933

A Canadian novelist and journalist, he built his stories out of the rough-and-ready worlds he knew best, from frontier outposts to police camps. His adventure fiction was especially popular in the early 20th century and often drew on his years reporting in the Canadian Northwest.
