The Trapper

The Trapper

Periodicals, Roughin It

The Trapper is a seemingly unfinished hunting periodical that possesses a mature writing style and gives the reader a hint of how the Nelson brothers constructed each page of their books. There is a box left empty in the center of the page for an illustration to be drawn after the story is finished. The story, "The Great Mountain Goldmine," describes two brothers' hunting trip before ending abruptly in the middle of a sentence.
