About This Book

A series of interlinked short narratives portrays the furred inhabitants of the northern forests and the trappers who encounter them. Animal characters discuss the value of pelts and the dangers of traps while episodes detail practical trapping methods, wolverine raids on shacks, the building and provisioning of camps, and the setting and running of snares. Human figures appear as trappers whose exploits and local customs—the law of the boundaries, mutual aid, and rescue efforts—structure the episodic plots. The tone mixes frontier realism, practical lore, and anthropomorphic observation of survival and community.
