The book "Trapper's Life" by W.T. Hamilton

"A Trapper's Life" is an exciting read that describes the life story of an American trapper from the Wild West period.

The main character of the book is a frail teenager Bill, whose parents put him under the care of the legendary trapper Williams to grow fat and healthy during his apprenticeship in the fur trade.

Thus begins a year-long journey that turns into a lifelong adventure lasting several decades. The hero spent nearly 60 years of his life in the open air, among wild animals, surrounded by not always friendly Indians and American conquerors.

Together with the author, we learn about the unexplored and often brutal world of the Wild West, while witnessing the decline and extermination of the native North American population.

The reading contains many of the author's personal reflections, keeps you gripped like a racy western, and undoubtedly forces you to reflect on and be nostalgic for what is irretrievably gone.
