Synopsis

A brisk, factual frontier memoir of a winter spent in the Maine wilds.

This nonfiction account follows two early hunters as they plan a winter in the Upper Magalloway River and Parmachenee Lake region. From careful preparation and sturdy camps to steady days of trapping, their voyage blends practical detail with the stark beauty and danger of northern woods life. The book presents a plain record of facts, not romance, and it follows Barker and Danforth from the river towns into remote camps, where weather, gear, and grit shape every decision. Readers gain a ground‑level view of a harsh, authentic winter, including the rhythms of travel, trap setting, and survival in a vast, little‑known landscape.

  • Detailed gear lists, boats, traps, and supplies used on a winter trapping expedition
  • Camp construction, winter travel, and adjustments to extreme cold and storms
  • Early exploration of the Upper Magalloway basin and the Parmachenee region
  • Day‑to‑day life, routines, and encounters with wildlife in a remote forest setting
Ideal for readers of outdoor history, rustic adventure, and early American trapping lore.
