For canoe country trapper and musher Mike West, his fur trapping career came about somewhat by chance. Acquiring his first dogs at a young age, a chance meeting with a friend encouraged him to move to the Northland and take up trapping. That was 1929, and from there, West lived off the land and went on to teach mushing in the Army during World War II. In this edition of Points North, Shawn shares a few of the stories of this fascinating person, excerpted from the winter 1972-73 edition of Northwoods Journal.
