This plain-spoken account of two hunters who spent a winter roaming the wilds of Maine in 1877 is a deeply insightful account of the hunting and trapping life.


Quality furs were constantly in demand throughout the 19th century, with pelts from larger animals such as bears highly sought after. Groups of men experienced in the outdoors would venture on expeditions lasting months, trapping and hunting small and large creatures. Barker and Danforth describe surviving in the wilderness for an extended time, often eating the meat from caribou they had hunted, while drying the furs that they be fit for sale. The pair possess skills in crafting a variety of traps and both can handle the rifle - a weapon which revolutionized game hunting.
