| Summary | "Philip Steele of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Philip Steele, a young man who defies his wealthy background to serve in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police in the wilderness of Canada. The narrative sets forth themes of adventure, the struggles of isolation, and the complexities of love and duty. The opening of the novel introduces us to Philip Steele as he grapples with intense solitude within his remote cabin during a fierce storm. As he writes a letter that poignantly reflects his feelings of nostalgia and homesickness, he is haunted by a human skull he keeps in his cabin, which brings forth memories of a tragic past involving another man. The storm outside mirrors the turmoil within him as he contemplates a letter from a woman that stirs feelings of longing and regret. This initial exploration of his thoughts reveals Steele's conflicting emotions, hinting at a deeper story involving relationships, the lure of adventure, and his duties as a Mountie, setting the stage for the complexities that will unfold as the plot progresses.
