Gaut Gurley Or The Trappers Of Umbagog is a novel written by Daniel P. Thompson. The story is set in the wilderness of Maine in the early 19th century and follows the adventures of Gaut Gurley, a skilled trapper and hunter. Gurley and his companions, including his Native American friend, set out on a trapping expedition to the remote and dangerous Umbagog Lake. Along the way, they encounter hostile Native American tribes, dangerous wildlife, and treacherous weather conditions. The novel explores themes of survival, friendship, and the clash of cultures between Native Americans and white settlers. It also provides a vivid depiction of the rugged and unforgiving landscape of the Maine wilderness. Overall, Gaut Gurley Or The Trappers Of Umbagog is a thrilling adventure story that captures the spirit of the American frontier.Having risen to his feet, raised his hunting-cap, and bowed his adieu to the still lingering maiden on shore, Claud now joined his companion at the oars; when they rapidly passed round the headland, and soon entered the bay-like recess of water, which, sweeping round in a large wood-fringed circle, opened upon the view immediately beyond. After skirting along the sometimes bold and rocky, and sometimes low and swampy, thickly-wooded shore, with a sharp lookout for whatever might come within range of the eye, but without stopping for any special examination till they had reached the most secluded part of the cove, the hunter suspended his oar, and signified his intention of landing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
