Hard Luck Trail Trappers Endure Harsh Arctic Crossing
In a rugged tale, a trapper recounts a brutal trek at the headwaters of the Oss-wow-see river in the Blue Hills Hudson Bayway. Poor dogs, dwindling provisions, and relentless cold drive them to shoot dwindling meat and press on by night. A damaged start and misfortune compound the ordeal as their pull toward a distant rail line becomes a test of endurance amid softening thaw and waning hope.
