Thorp went out to look after some of his cattle, risking his life in the work. He became so chilled and frozen but continued until he fell in the drifts and could not rise. When he was rescued from the trail where he had been huddled in a temperature of 36 degrees below zero, he was so severely frozen for a long time his recovery was doubtful. He did lose his toes; there was no such thing as an anesthetic available and the only surgeon available balked at amputating the blackened toes though gangrene was developing. So Thorp did it himself and in later years would point to as clean a job of amputation as the most modern surgeon could have done."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
