Looking for a legend

In April 1940, a trio of brothers hiked into the wilderness outside of Dorrington to check on a friend, a recluse who had not been seen all winter. What they found in his cabin was a half-eaten supper, a missing pair of shoes, an absent fishing pole and a dead cat, who perished after being locked in the cabin. What they didn't find was their friend, Monte Wolfe, who was never seen or heard from again.
