One Against a Wilderness | 
so-so(1977) Originally serialized in Blue Book magazine in 1937, this is less a novel than a collection of 6 short adventures featuring Chester's Tarzan-ish character Kioga the Snow-Hawk in the lost world Nato'wa, a sort of Native American homeland above the Arctic circle. Like Tarzan, there's excellent adventure here but it's difficult to read uncritically today, with its language of "civilized" and "savage" and valorization of whiteness.
