Long the dominant icon embodying the spirit of America's frontier
past, the image of the cowboy no longer stands alone as the
ultimate symbol of independence and self-reliance. The great canvas
of the western landscape-in art, books, film-is today shared by the
figures called "Mountain Men." They were the trappers of the Rocky
Mountain fur trade in the years following Lewis and Clark's
Expedition of 1804-1806. With their bold journeys peaking, during
the period of 1830-1840, they were the first white men to enter the
vast wilderness reaches of the Rockies in search of beaver skins.
They feasted on the abundant buffalo, elk and other game, while
living the ultimate free-spirited wilderness life. Often they paid
the ultimate price for their ventures under the arrows, tomahawks,
and knives of those Native Americans whose lands they had entered.
The Greatest Mountain Men Stories Ever Told, presents in one book
many of the most engaging and revealing portraits of mountain men
ever written. This collection is destined to be well appreciated by
the huge and dedicated audience fascinated by mountain man lore and
legend. These readers include many who today participate in
reenactments of the mountain man "Rendezvous," with colorful
costumes and competitions of traditional skills with authentic
guns, knives, and tools.
