Description: THE FRONTIERSMAN by Hiram Alfred Cody, author’s 1st book, a UK/Canadian Dominion edition from about 1912 per the Dominion of Canada coat of arms embossed on the cover. Anglican minister Hiram Alfred Cody of Canada found a lucrative sideline writing action-adventure novels set in the Canadian Yukon. In The Frontiersman, Cody describes the moral depravity brought about by the gold rush in the territory through the eyes of an earnest young minister sent to the region as a missionary. Though he had written short stories in his younger years, Cody's focus on fiction came later in his life. H.A. Cody published 25 books, in addition to several poems and newspaper articles. In 1927 he was appointed Archdeacon of Saint John; he served until his retirement in 1943. While more commonly recognized for his work in the ministry than for his writing, H.A. Cody was one of Canada's most widely read authors. His publications, like those of the bestselling Ralph CONNOR, were amongst the first to be mass-produced in North America due to their accessible prose, Christian themes and appeal to a broad audience.
