Entertaining but dated

An adventure story set in the far north of Canada in the days of the Hudson Bay fur trappers. A popular adventure story when written but has issues common to popular novels of 100+ years ago. Gender and racial stereotypes are evident. The “hero” violates his oath to uphold the law, developed an unhealthy/unrealistic instant romantic attachment to the wife of the criminal he is hunting, and leaves an infant in a tent alone in the winter as he goes off to chase down an Indian woman and her husband to attempt to force them to return to care for the child’s mother who is stricken with small pox. This story has issues that don’t age well.
