| Abstract | An issue of the Nelson brothers' fictional periodical, "The Trapper," consisting of printed clippings from unidentified sources. This particular issue opens with the story, "Attacked by Wolves," telling the story of two brothers, their grandmother, and their pets surrounded in their cabin by aggressive wolves. Following this story are two pages of a more light-hearted nature. There are humorous poems, word-play, anecdotes and children's sayings. The titles are hand stamped in by the creators at the top of each page. Most of the clippings are unattributed and come from unidentified sources. The poem "Cradle to the Grave" is by Janie Brockman, possibly the children's author of that time. "Taking Aim" is attributed to Mary S. Ladd in the "Christian Union". |
