1885, North America. Hell Gap, a suitable place for those who would like to lay low as a fugitive, is going through "hard times." Ever since gold was discovered in the nearby territory, a stream of miners poured into this inconspicuous town, and with them came the law. To restore order, the sheriff and his assistants are ready to act harshly and decisively. A telegraph pole and a noose around the neck is, of course, an impressive method, but the old-timers of Hell Gap are not timid people. The next volume by Louis Boussenard includes a duology with western elements - “Hell's Gorge” and “Canadian Hunters”. On the pages of these novels, telling about the northern nature and customs of America, the reader will have a new meeting with one of the heroes of the book “From Paris to Brazil by Land.”
