| Summary | "Jack the Young Trapper: An Eastern Boy's Fur Hunting in the Rocky Mountains" by George Bird Grinnell is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Jack Danvers, a young boy from the East who travels to the Rocky Mountains to learn about trapping and fur hunting during the transformative years of America’s westward expansion. With a mix of excitement and learning, Jack’s journey unfolds in a wilderness rich with wildlife, including antelope and beaver, aiming to capture the spirit of the old trappers and the rugged beauty of the western landscape. The opening of the novel introduces Jack Danvers as he returns to his uncle's ranch after a long winter away at school. Full of enthusiasm, he is eager to reconnect with old friends and the natural beauty of the prairie. As he settles in, a conversation between Jack, his uncle Mr. Sturgis, and his friend Hugh Johnson hints at plans for a summer expedition—potentially trapping beaver in North Park. This setting lays the groundwork for Jack's upcoming adventures, showcasing themes of friendship, the challenges of wilderness survival, and the excitement of discovery as they prepare to embark on their trapping journey into the Rocky Mountains.
