Publisher's Synopsis
""Gaut Gurley Or The Trappers Of Umbagog"" is a novel written by Daniel P. Thompson. The story is set in the early 19th century in the wilderness of Maine, and it follows the adventures of Gaut Gurley, a skilled trapper and hunter, as he navigates the dangers of the forest and the conflicts between rival trapper factions. Gurley is a man of strong principles and a deep love for the natural world, and his encounters with other trappers, Native Americans, and wildlife test his courage, loyalty, and survival skills. Along the way, he also falls in love with a young woman named Lucy, who shares his passion for the outdoors and becomes his ally in the fight against greed and injustice. ""Gaut Gurley Or The Trappers Of Umbagog"" is a classic tale of frontier life, filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape, the animals, and the people who inhabit it, and it offers a glimpse into the rugged spirit of the American pioneers.Having risen to his feet, raised his hunting-cap, and bowed his adieu to the still lingering maiden on shore, Claud now joined his companion at the oars; when they rapidly passed round the headland, and soon entered the bay-like recess of water, which, sweeping round in a large wood-fringed circle, opened upon the view immediately beyond. After skirting along the sometimes bold and rocky, and sometimes low and swampy, thickly-wooded shore, with a sharp lookout for whatever might come within range of the eye, but without stopping for any special examination till they had reached the most secluded part of the cove, the hunter suspended his oar, and signified his intention of landing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
