James Oliver Curwood
| Biography: | American novelist James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was also a conservationist, and his stories feature the wilds of North America. Curwood left high school early but managed to study journalism at the University of Michigan and find work with the Detroit News-Tribune. By 1909 he began traveling in the Canadian northwest that features so prominently in his novels. The first novels were successful enough to fund future trips to the Yukon and Alaska, ultimately resulting in over 30 books. Some of his earnings went into an 18th-century style chateau he built on the Shiawassee River, known as Curwood Castle, now a museum. |
