Away in the Wilderness by R. M. Ballantyne audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In 19th-century Canada, famed backwoods hunter and trapper Jasper Derry sets out from the far reaches of Rupert's Land with one urgent goal: reach civilization in time to marry the woman he loves, Marie Laroche, and finally trade a life of wandering for a home. The journey should be straightforward for a man as capable as Jasper, but the wilderness has its own plans. Traveling with two unlikely companions, Arrowhead, a sharp-eyed Indigenous guide, and John Heywood, a young artist whose sketches and curiosity often slow the pace, Jasper must thread his way through swarming insects, dangerous rivers, isolated outposts, and sudden encounters with wild animals, including a terrifying bear. As the three friends push onward, their camaraderie is tested by exhaustion, hard choices, and the long shadow of human conflict on the frontier, including the schemes of Darkeye, a hostile chief who sees opportunity in their passage. Fast-moving, vivid, and moral in spirit, Away in the Wilderness blends survival adventure with humor, friendship, and a hard-earned lesson about pride, mercy, and revenge.
