The Country Beyond: A Romance of the Wilderness is a western story written by James Oliver Curwood, author Of The Valley Of Silent Men, The Flaming Forest, Etc.

A glass of wine once lost a kingdom, a nail turned the tide of a mighty battle, and a woman's smile once upon a time destroyed the homes of a million people. Thus have trivial things played their potent parts in the history of human lives; yet these things Peter did not know.
