As a boy, Norten ran the ridges of the Missouri Ozarks, helping his family survive the depression by running traplines and paddling john-boats on the Big Piney River. When World War ll broke out, being, 'of age', he joined the 101st Airborne and fought at Bastogne, where a small group of paratroopers were trapped in the snow and besieged by German troops in one of this nation's greatest and bloodiest battles. He returned to become a top-notch fishing guide and one of the Ozarks’ most knowledgeable fishermen. This is the story of one of a truly colorful native son of the Ozarks. It is a book filled with humor and a backwoods philosophy that will lift your spirits.
