About This Book

A troop of young scouts spends a harsh winter learning woodcraft and the ways of the trapper while facing wilderness hazards. Through expeditions, rescues, and encounters with trappers, poachers, smugglers, and fur-bearing animals, they practice snowshoeing, tracking, winter survival, and ethical decision-making under scouting principles. Episodes range from an overturned-car rescue and snowbound days to covert confrontations over the fur trade, with attention to the solitude and craft of life on the fur trails. The narrative blends adventure and practical instruction, emphasizing self-reliance, comradeship, and responsible conduct in the outdoors.

"On my honor I will do my best—
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."

Well might the men of to-day as well as the men of to-morrow subscribe to this oath of the Boy Scouts of America, whether their lot in life be cast in the turmoil of the great city or the loneliness of a trapper's camp.
