Description
Harry Castlemon wrote The Boy Trapper, printed in Philadelphia by Henry T. Coates, as the first of the Boy Trapper series. Castlemon, famed for his Frank and Gunboat books, here gives boys a hero who lives by trap, gun, and woodcraft.
David, a poor lad, takes visitors, an offer of partnership, and bad news in stride, then hunts bear, traps quail, and chases a ten-dollar reward. A barrel of eighty thousand dollars and a talk with General Gordon haunt his past. The tale is brisk, clean boys' fiction, full of dogs, bears, and pluck, in the hearty style of the day.
