The Chief of the Ranges By H. A. Cody

Anglican minister Hiram Alfred Cody 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.

Hiram Alfred Cody was a Canadian clergyman who turned to writing in his spare time, eventually completing dozens of novels over the course of his career. Jess of the Rebel Trail is something of a departure from many of Cody's works. It follows the fortunes of Jess, a rebellious, independent-minded young woman who suddenly finds herself at the center of a family scandal.

Like many of Hiram Alfred Cody's novels, If Any Man Sin is set in the rough-and-tumble frontier of the Canadian Yukon. Clergyman Martin Rutland has been cast out of the church due to bad behavior. He tries to make a fresh start, but finds that his past misdeeds keep catching up to him.

Himself an Anglican clergyman, Canadian author Hiram Alfred Cody often chose men of the cloth as his protagonists. In The Fourth Watch, set in the idyllic forests of northern Canada, Parson John Westmore and his devoted daughter Nellie take in a young boy named Dan and make him part of the family.

At the urging of his mentor, young journalist Tom Reynolds makes his way to the gold mining territory in the far northern reaches of the Canadian Yukon to investigate the mysterious disappearance of eccentric millionaire Henry Redmond. Soon enough, Reynolds finds himself in hot water. Will he crack the case before it's too late?

A western full of action and adventure.  Cowboys and gunfights, romance and horse thieves abound in this western adventure.
