Though this book is fiction, it is based on the actual life experiences of the Author. Desperate to escape an abusive father, Dusty leaves home at 13 in search of a new life. As he heads west out of the Texas panhandle, Dusty is drawn to the mountains of New Mexico where he, finally, finds the freedom and adventure he has always dreamed of; but the urge to go ever farther north pulls at him constantly, refusing to let him stay in any one place for long. Becoming a trapper in the high country of Colorado brings excitement and independence to his life, but it is fraught with dangers, as well as loneliness. His hunger for adventure, and his next winter camp, takes him ever northward into Wyoming and Montana; trapping clear to the Canadian border, until he can go no farther north! Though this restless life brings Dusty the freedom he craves, it also brings hardship and pain as he desperately tries to avoid the confinement of civilization.
