As a youngster he won the trapping rights over a huge expanse of land ,near Riske creek in B.C. This was back in the 1930's to 50's. No machinery at all til after WW2 ( surplus WW2 Jeep), only horses . He came out from the U.K. as a youth . The book is a good read .

It's surprising for all the hunting I did in the Cariboo and Chilcotin areas of B.C., very little of it was West of Willie's Puddle. I mainly hunted East and North in places such as Likely, Yank's Peak, Cariboo Lake, Quesnel, Blackwater, and Horsefly to name a few. My first Wife's uncle lived in William's Lake and had a friend who kept a bush plane in Springhouse and took me flying upon occasion out to Chilko and Anaheim Lakes. Like Randy, I too have read those books by Richmond P. Hobson. The adventures of Pan Phillips and "Tophand" are shining examples of what a cowboy, a horse, and true grit can accomplish!
