Description
John Hulett recalls living and working in northwestern Montana’s Swan Valley, during the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. He talks about his family moving to the valley in 1931, and his subsequent outdoor jobs, acting as a lookout for the Forest Service, a packer and member of trail crew, a trapper, a rancher, and a logger. Hulett describes encounters with wild animals while packing, and discusses seasonal weather and pastimes. He recalls other farmers, ranchers, and packers, as well as the towns in the area.
