Flower of the North by James Oliver Curwood

A police officer on a deathbed makes a confession of a murder that an innocent man is about to be hanged for.

Pierre Gourdon had the love of God in his heart, a man's love for a man's God, and it seemed to him that in this golden sunset of a July afternoon the great Canadian wilderness all about him was whispering softly the truth of his faith and his creed.
