Far from towns and far from help, what matters most: duty, family, or the need to stay alive?
In Snow-Blind, Albert M. Treynor takes you into the Canadian wilderness, where winter and distance shape every choice. Mounted Police officers, trappers, and families inhabit a world of snow, ice, and long silence. Here, help is distant, travel is slow, and the struggle for warmth and shelter gives adventure its sharp edge.
Family loyalty stands beside duty at the heart of this northern tale. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police represent law on a vast frontier, while family bonds carry special weight where help is so far away. Beneath these pressures lies a plain, urgent question: how do people survive when the cold makes every basic need matter?

In short
What would you do if a stranger's voice on the radio, reading a letter meant for someone else, seemed to speak straight to your own lost family? Kitchener Tearl, a young man in New York, spins his dial one evening and hears a message for Sergeant Buck Tearl of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
A radio message sends Kit north
Kit hears the message by accident. He is twenty-four, he lives in a Park Avenue apartment, and he turns his radio dial on an idle evening. A station is reading family greetings to men at the farthest police outposts. Then comes an odd letter for Sergeant Buck Tearl at Port-o'-Prayer.
The name strikes Kit hard. His father, Inspector Bill Tearl, walked out of a sub-post more than twelve years ago and was never seen again. His brother Jerry, a Yale halfback with a terrible temper, nearly beat a man to death on Broadway and fled. Kit guesses that Buck Tearl is Jerry under a nickname.

What is Snow-Blind by Albert M. Treynor about?
It follows Kitchener Tearl, who hears a strange radio message and travels into northern Canada to find his missing police-inspector father and his brother Jerry, while hunting a killer and a sledge of lost gold.
Who is Diane in Snow-Blind?
Diane Durand is a spirited young woman Kit meets in the woods. She says she is hunting her uncle, fights beside and against Kit, and gives her name to the radio message that starts the story.
What does snow-blind mean in the book?
It has two meanings. Jerry uses it for the way the northern wilderness can take over a man's heart and mind, and the book also uses it for the real injury caused by glare on snow.
The author
Albert M. Treynor
American writer
Albert M. Treynor was an American writer who died in 1948. He wrote adventure fiction in the magazine style of his day, and Snow-Blind shows his taste for northern frontier scenes, mounted police, fast chapters and a mix of comedy with danger. Little else is given here, and nothing is guessed.
