Publisher's Synopsis
The Spoilers is a novel written by Edwin William Pugh in 1906. Set in the late 19th century during the Klondike Gold Rush, the story revolves around a group of corrupt politicians and businessmen who seek to exploit the gold-mining industry for their own gain. The main character, Roy Glenister, is a young miner who becomes embroiled in a battle against these ""spoilers"" as they attempt to steal his gold claim. Along with his partner, the tough-talking Cherry Malotte, and a group of loyal friends, Glenister fights to protect his claim and expose the corruption that threatens to destroy the entire mining community. The Spoilers is a classic tale of greed, betrayal, and redemption, and has been adapted into several films and stage productions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
