Shooting Wolves and a Bear Trap Deer Tale
An aged Lehigh woodman recalls a January 1840 night when two wolves chased his hound by a Moskow area house. He shot one wolf through the head and felled the second after a window break. He later follows a bear-trap trail to a deer trapped by chest-high saplings and a predatory catamount, ending with the buck killed as the beast struggles. Also notes winter wear: hussar jackets remain stylish in cold weather per Ladies’ Home Journal.
