What it’s about. The story is set in Alaska, where spoiled and pampered heiress Octavia Van Ness has come for her health. Here she meets 'Chuck' Hemingway, who despite his rough exterior is likewise a child of wealth, and a Yale graduate to boot. When Van Ness violently rejects his romantic overtures, Hemingway turns to an old Indian chum for advice. The Indian suggests rather chauvinistically that the way to win a headstrong girl is to "tame" her -- that is, treat 'er rough and make 'er like it.
Who’s in it. The Iron Strain stars Enid Markey as Octavia Van Ness, Dustin Farnum as 'Chuck' Hemingway, Charles K. French as Ezra Whitney and Louise Glaum as Kitty Molloy, among others.
