It's time for more action and adventure from Stephen W. Meader, this time tracking the story of Jeff Barlow, an Illinois farm boy who goes to spend his sixteenth winter trapping varmints in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, becoming a grizzled mountain man and successful deerskin painter by the end of it—I guess it's what all the kids were doing back in those days. With Charles Beck's b/w text-illustrations throughout. Other advertised Meader books on dustwrapper and within are consistent with this 1960 first edition date. (Inventory #: 47297)
