This eBook was produced by David Widger "Pierre and His People: Tales of the Far North Volume 1" by Gilbert Parker is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The tales follow the character Pierre, a half-breed who navigates the complexities of life in the Canadian frontier, interacting with various other characters, including law enforcement and the local indigenous peoples. The stories explore themes of justice, morality, and the harsh realities of pioneer life in the Far North. The beginning of the collection introduces the story "The Patrol of the Cypress Hills," where we find Old Brown Windsor and Young Aleck discussing Sergeant Fones, a strict officer of the Mounted Police. Pretty Pierre enters the scene, characterized as clever and resourceful yet involved in gambling and intrigue. The narrative sets up a tension between Aleck, who seems infatuated with a woman named Mab, and Pierre, who has darker ambitions. The introductory portion also hints at a looming confrontation involving Pierre, Aleck, and the law, laying the groundwork for the intertwining lives of these characters against the backdrop of the unforgiving North.
