Description
When author George E. Wood Jr. uncovered a bundle of century-old newspaper clippings in the ashes of a house fire, he had no idea he was about to step into the forgotten world of his father-legendary Minnesota Game Warden George E. Wood. Between 1911 and 1923, Warden Wood patrolled the wild North Country with grit and a revolver, battling poachers, bootleggers, and backwoods criminals in a lawless frontier.
Determined to preserve this legacy, Wood Jr. returned to his father's old territory, piecing together the story from over 600 articles and official reports. The result is a vivid, true-life portrait of a man who turned Minnesota's wilderness into his courtroom-and often risked his life to do it.
More than a personal tribute, this gripping historical narrative immerses readers into a turbulent era shaped by prohibition, the Great War, organized crime, and industrial expansion. Warden Wood is the untold story of a fearless lawman and the wild country he tamed.Step into the woods-justice is waiting.
