E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images digitized by the Google Books Library Project (https://books.google.com) and generously made available by HathiTrust Digital Library (https://www.hathitrust.org/) "Plain Tales of the North" by Thierry Mallet is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book shares the rich tapestry of life in the Far North, focusing on the experiences and traditions of those who inhabit these remote areas, including encounters with nature, wildlife, and the various characters of the region. The beginning of "Plain Tales of the North" introduces the reader to a stark, somber tale of a grave in Saskatchewan, where a young white woman rests under a cluster of jack-pines, marked only by four logs. This evocative story reflects on her life, full of struggle, and her untimely death in the unforgiving northern wilderness, where her husband, now a “squaw man,” has moved on without a second thought for her memory. The narrative sets the tone for the collection, highlighting themes of isolation, survival, and the poignant stories that arise from the harsh realities of life in the North, inviting readers to reflect on the deep connections between the land, its people, and their shared histories.
