Summary "The Timber Pirate" by Charles Christopher Jenkins is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of adventure, ambition, and intrigue set against the backdrop of the lumber industry in Canada. The central character appears to be Louis Hammond, a young man drawn into a mysterious mission involving a timber operation and a web of corporate rivalry and personal stakes. The opening of the novel introduces a stark, icy wilderness where an elderly man near death reveals secrets about a gold mine to his young companion, Alexander, moments before passing. This pivotal encounter sets the tone for secrecy and ambition. As the narrative shifts to Louis Hammond, we see him arriving at a pulpwood camp in Northern Ontario, where he is thrust into a world dominated by corporate machinations and eccentric characters, including the enigmatic Acey Smith, the camp's superintendent. The prose conveys an atmosphere of tension and mystery as Hammond grapples with his unclear mission and his attraction to a woman named Josephine Stone, further complicating his already intricate engagement in the unfolding events.
