Master Trappers Book
Master Trappers by Tom Miranda tells the sprawling story of the American fur trade as it has never been told before. Ride along with French voyageurs as they canoe unmapped lands for the original Hudson’s Bay Company. Meet explorers and pioneers who risk life and limb while chasing prime fur from the Adirondacks to Louissiane to Alaska, including mountain men Coulter, Bridger, Glass, Smith and Johnson. Learn how an industrial age trapping industry was built in the late 19th and early 20th century by trap makers like Newhouse and Gibbs. Read the stories of legendary 20th century trappers E.J. Dailey, O.L. Butcher, Walter Arnold, Herb Lenon, Stanley Hawbaker, Bill Nelson and others who still influence us to this very day. Ride along on the longlines of our greatest living trappers to see how the traps, equipment and methods have evolved into a vital tool for 21st century wildlife management. The scope of this book is mind boggling, and Miranda weaves in his own story from Ohio schoolboy trapper to South Dakota longliner to a 30-year career as television producer and host for outdoor adventure shows on ESPN, the Outdoor Channel and more.
