I have read this and really like it. Would recommend it to anyone who like the BW. I would have loved to do something like this in my youth.

I just finished a good book entitled “Trapping The Boundary Waters” by Ira Cook. I got my copy from the Hennipen County Library. It is also available from the Minnesota Historical Society.

It is a true story of a young man, Ira Cook, and his adventures running a trap line in the Basswood area in 1919. He was a city person who just wanted to spend a year living in the wilderness. There are a lot of trapping stories. Along the way he met Bill Berglund who was later to become a companion of Dorothy Molter, The Root Beer Lady.

There are stories of his encounters with the locals, and his acceptance by them. Stories of winter survival, dog sledding, Travel by canoe, and running a successful trap line.

It was very interesting.

Has anyone else read this?
