'The Drama of the Forests' is a romance-adventure novel by Arthur Heming. It is set on the outer end of a distant point a cluster of poplars shaded a small, clapboarded log house. There, in charge of Fort Consolation, lived the Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. Beyond a little lawn enclosed by a picket fence stood the large storehouse. The lower floor of this was used as a trading room; the upper story served as a fur loft. Behind were seen a number of shanties, then another large building in which dog-sleds and great birch-bark canoes were stored. Farther away was a long open shed, under which those big canoes were built, then a few small huts where the half-breeds lived. With the exception of the Factor's house, all the buildings were of rough-hewn logs plastered with clay. Around the sweeping bend of the bay was a village of tepees in which the Indian fur hunters and their families spend their midsummer. Crowning a knoll in the rear stood a quaint little church with a small tin spire glistening in the sun, and capped by a cross that spread its tiny arms to heaven. On the hill in the background the time-worn pines swayed their shaggy heads and softly whispered to that, the first gentle touch of civilization in the wilderness.

When one thinks of Conan Doyle, his Sherlock Holmes character immediately springs to mind; but Conan Doyle wrote in a wide variety of genres and styles and created other notable characters, not the least of which was Brigadier Etienne Gerard, a marvelous hero set against the backdrop of the Europe of Napoleon. This collection of short stories is divided into two parts: Tales of the Ring are stories with a boxing connection, in the form of 19th century pugilism by Queensbury and London Prize rules; Tales of the Camp have a military setting, mostly in the heyday of the British Empire. Among these is a Brigadier Gerard story where one can meet this character (or renew acquaintance with him).
