The saga which began with Josiah Stevenson atop New Hampshire's 'Old Craggy' in "A Far Way Home" continues in "The Trapper's Choice." In 1836, David Eldridge treks through the Rockies on an epic journey of fur trapping and self discovery. Having left the love of his life Callie back in Arkansas, David lives with and learns from the old trappers who instill the wisdom of the mountains in him: 'Once the Old Man places his claim on you, you never say goodbye.' Torn between the freedom of the mountains and the sweet enslavement of his lover's arms, young David comes of age crisscrossing the American West, and wrestling with "the Trapper's Choice".
