A Man to Match the Mountains: 70 Years of Trapping/Wayne Negus

Descriere

Description Wayne Negus, an honorary member in the National Trappers' Hall of Fame, was a master story teller. He wrote accounts of his trapping experiences from childhood days in North Dakota to wilderness adventures in the Oregon Cascades and encounters with coyotes and bobcats in Arizona and Eastern Oregon. This collection of his stories also features accounts by his wife, Bobby Negus, who accompanied him on many of his trapping adventures. About the author From childhood days, Wayne Negus (1907 -1991) longed to emulate the exploits of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trappers. For 70 years, he braved the elements, first in North Dakota, then in Oregon and Arizona. Besides his trapping exploits, he also cooked in restaurants and logging camps and worked as a timber faller. He loved to regale his friends and families with stories about his adventures.
