This unusually well illustrated volume follows the plan of the other books of the series in combining information with narrative. In telling the story of young Gavin Keary, from the time he is left alone to shift for himself till he is engaged as a trapper by the U.S. biological survey, the author manages to impart a great deal of information about the work of this branch of the government service, the conditions of modern trapping and the ways of wild animals.
“The average reader will find it interesting and boys will find it even thrilling.”

“It avoids the insipidity that goes with most boys’ books and is packed full of information about ranch life.”
