But proud, self-sacrificing Anton didn't want her sharing a hard life with him in the wilderness. When writer Sigmund Barret came to Nugget Creek and fell in love with Jenny, Anton urged her to marry him and leave Alaska. Hurt and angry, Jenny had decided to do just that when Man and Nature and an old sled dog seemed to join forces just to change her mind...
