John L Hatcher's yarns from the Wah-to-Yah Trail provided grist to the mills of old beaver trappers who funded their retirement entertaining at train stops like North Platte, Nebraska.

What's in the Attic?

Things left behind,

Things found by the way,

Beyond the temporal horizon,

Halcyon shades of kindled times;
