The novel tells the story of Jim Vanderbeck and his family during the winter of 1931-32 in the wilderness north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. • The Vanderbecks made their living guiding hunters and sportsmen and by trapping. That winter Jim was eighteen and his brother Lindsay was sixteen. The Depression had reduced the number of sportsmen coming north to hunt and fish, and the income they generated for the Vanderbecks. With their father hospitalized in Toronto, Jim and Lindsay had to take over the business of running the family's traplines. Their success was critical to the family's livelihood. • What distinguishes this story among so many other great outdoor tales is that the Vanderbecks are a real family. This book is based on the actual diaries Jim kept that winter. • In 1935, boys' adventure writer Stephen W. Meader came into possession of Jim's diaries. Fascinated by the story they contained, he traveled from New York to Nakina, Ontario to meet Jim and the Vanderbeck family. From those diaries and the family's personal accounts, Meader crafted a remarkable account of Jim's daily life that winter as he ran a seventy-mile trapline alone, traveling by canoe and snowshoes, sleeping in cabins and lean-tos in temperatures as cold as 50 below zero. https://traplinesnorth.tripod.com/ • If you would like to get more information and history, you should visit this wonderful website https://traplinesnorth.tripod.com/ • If you would like to add this treasure to your book shelf, I have a link you can follow here https://amzn.to/3CDtLjn
