The Hunted Woman by James Oliver Curwood
"The Hunted Woman" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the rugged frontier, the story revolves around themes of adventure, survival, and the inherent dangers of a lawless land. The narrative begins with a mysterious woman, Joanne Gray, who is on a journey to Tete Jaune Cache, a rough-and-tumble camp filled with railroad workers and adventurers. As she travels, her character is revealed through her interactions with various individuals, including John Aldous, a writer who becomes intrigued by her beauty and bravery. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Joanne as she navigates her surroundings?a place filled with a "horde" of men who are both drawn to the promise of fortune and the threats that such a life entails. Her beauty catches the attention of several characters, including a menacing figure named Bill Quade, who becomes enamored with her. The opening reveals the complexities of her character as she seeks answers about her husband’s fate, believed to be dead, after a friend suggests he might still be alive. The encounter between Joanne and John Aldous sets the stage for a budding connection, complicated by the dangers posed by Quade and the chaotic environment of Tete Jaune. As tension mounts, the themes of protection, desire, and resilience emerge, laying the groundwork for an exciting adventure.

Summary
It was all new?most of it singularly dramatic and even appalling to the woman who sat with the pearl-gray veil drawn closely about her face. For eighteen hours she had been a keenly attentive, wide-eyed, and partly frightened bit of humanity in this onrush of "the horde." She had heard a voice behind her speak of it as "the horde"?a deep, thick, gruff voice which she knew without looking had filtered its way through a beard. She agreed with the voice. It was the Horde?that horde which has always beaten the trails ahead for civilization and made of its own flesh and blood the foundation of nations. For months it had been pouring steadily into the mountains?always in and never out, a laughing, shouting, singing, blaspheming Horde, every ounce of it toughened sinew and red brawn, except the Straying Angels. One of these sat opposite her, a dark-eyed girl with over-red lips and hollowed cheeks, and she heard the bearded man say something to his companions about "dizzy dolls" and "the little angel in the other seat."
