''How John Norton The Trapper Kept His Christmas'' is a short story written by William Henry Harrison Murray and published in 1890. The book is set in the wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York and follows the story of John Norton, a rugged trapper who lives alone in the woods. As Christmas approaches, Norton finds himself feeling lonely and longing for the company of others. He decides to travel to the nearest settlement to celebrate the holiday with some old friends. Along the way, he encounters a group of travelers who have become lost in the woods and are in desperate need of help. Norton takes it upon himself to guide the travelers to safety, risking his own life in the process. Through his bravery and kindness, Norton learns the true meaning of Christmas and finds joy in giving to others. The book is a heartwarming tale of selflessness and the spirit of the holiday season. It also provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in the wilderness during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
