By Johnny Thorpe. This is the story of a well-known trapper who is a member of a most unique group which could well be called the last of the mountain men. The great outdoors is not just a hobby or weekend venture with these individuals it is a way of life. These men are entrapped in a time warp and cannot escape – nor do they wish to. Johnny Thorpe has spent his entire life as a professional trapper, treasure hunter, chainsaw carver and horse shoer. He has dug bottles, ginseng, and gold. He has hacked saddle horses and worked rodeos. He spent the last fifty years making a living at the type of life that most people in this day and age can only read about or dream of. Johnny covers a number of trap-line experiences and introduces the reader to many old timers and hard core professional trappers that he has known over the years. He takes you from the farm land of the Catskills up through the Adirondack wilderness and into the deep snows of Canada, and across the Colorado Rockies and into the deserts of Arizona and California in quest of fur. His accounts of true tales of buried treasure and recoveries will make you want to run right out and buy a metal detector!
