Summary "Hidden Guns" by Henry W. Patterson is a short story written in the early 20th century. This work, published in "Adventure Magazine," explores themes of survival and conflict set against the harsh backdrop of a snowbound wilderness. The narrative centers on the life of two trappers whose cabin becomes a stage for unexpected human drama and confrontation following an unusual snowstorm. The story follows Jim Henderson, a seasoned trapper, and his younger partner, Nick Hartley, as they endure the prolonged isolation caused by heavy snowfall. Their tense relationship reaches a boiling point when a heated argument escalates into a physical confrontation, only to be interrupted by the sudden arrival of three armed men who attempt to rob them. In a twist of fate, Nick outsmarts the intruders and manages to overpower them alongside Jim, leading to the capture of the would-be criminals. The narrative combines elements of physical struggle, psychological tension, and quick-thinking action that bring forth the themes of resilience and resourcefulness in the face of danger.
