Thorpe – 50 Years a Trapper and Treasure Hunter – by Johnny Thorpe
$15.00
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. Johnny Thorpe has spent his entire life as a professional trapper, treasure hunter, and chainsaw carver. He has dug bottles, ginseng and gold. He has packed saddle horses and worked rodeos. Johnny spent his 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 trapline 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.
