Trapping Run

Trapping Run is the sixth story in A Different Flesh. It was not published prior to its appearance in the collection. Set in 1814, it tells the story of Henry Quick, an eastern trapper who is injured in an encounter with a bear, and is nursed and protected by a tribe of sims. While is time with the sims is arguably distructive to the clan, Quick grows to view the sims as something more than beasts, and becomes an advocate for them.
