Wild Geese Calling by Stewart Edward White
My aunt gave me this book (along with Farley Mowat's Never Cry Wolf and Richard Halliburton's Royal Road to Romance), when I became a dedicated reader at age eight. Recently I stumbled across a copy in a used book store. White was a contemporary of Zane Grey and Rex Beach and all those he-man dime-store novel-writing types, but they could never write women. White can. He also writes scenery and weather as well as Grey and characters better than Beach.
