Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the adventurous boyhood of James Hull as he and his family face the challenge of a harsh new environment to improve the health of James' mother. Leaving behind their urban existence, they embark on a journey to a remote meadow cottage by the Hackensack River in the 1860s. The young protagonist embraces the wild beauty of the meadow's creeks and marshes, leading him to explore the art of trapping local wildlife. Together with his father and an enigmatic old African American trapper named Old Harry, James embarks on a series of escapades that evoke the history and traditions of rural America. The author explores the complexities of the boy's coming-of-age alongside the themes of family, community, and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. Through James' experiences, the book illuminates the subtle yet profound impact of the natural world on our lives and the importance of perseverance, resourcefulness, and the bonds we forge with others.
