Publisher's Synopsis
Agnes Christina Laut (1871-1936) was a prolific author of fiction and popular history in the first decades of the twentieth century. In Heralds of Empire and its predecessor, Lords of the North, Laut's characters share a code of chivalry, refusing to yield to "the witching fascinations of a wild life in a wild, free, tameless land" and her romantic stories show evidence of Laut's careful research and desire to enliven Canadian history.
