He could trap the biggest meanest alligator and he'd just use one hand. That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it. Left arm gone clear up to the elbow. verse 4 Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos was up in the swamp trading skins. So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy, but he never came out again.
