520			_a"The land of forgotten men" by Edison Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set between the storm-lashed Alaskan Peninsula and the drawing rooms of Georgia, it follows a disgraced Southern gentleman—known locally as the Remittance Man—whose presumed death after a rescue run at sea opens a stark path of survival and reinvention, while his wife Dorothy contends with grief and the pressing courtship of the magnetic violinist Ivan Ishmin. Rugged cannery men like Big Chris and Captain Jim embody the North’s hard code as the story probes identity, loyalty, and the cost of courage. The opening of the story plunges into a squall on the Alaskan coast, where Big Chris and Captain Jim take their launch, the Jupiter, out to answer distress rockets; the Remittance Man insists on joining and gives Chris his coat before the Jupiter smashes on the reefs. Cut to Augusta, where Dorothy receives a telegram declaring her husband, Peter Newhall, drowned; newspapers revive the Savannah River killing that drove him into exile, and Ivan visits, consoling her with music while pressing his suit. The narrative then returns to the wreck: Peter survives by a miracle, is hauled aboard a passing schooner, endures grim makeshift surgery, and, unrecognizable and mute behind bandages, adopts the name “Limejuice Pete.” As he hardens into a sailor, chance brings him to Squaw Harbor, where he learns the world has misidentified another man’s body as his—freeing him to work anonymously under cannery boss Aleck Bradford—while, months later, Dorothy, torn between duty and Ivan’s urgency, resolves to journey to Alaska to reclaim her husband’s neglected grave.
