Osborne Russell's thrilling lifetime of trapping and wilderness
exploration makes for adventurous, eventful and highly readable
autobiography. In the nineteenth century, the USA's wilderness was
enormous and largely uncharted by the white European settlers who
had, until the nineteenth century, been largely confined to the
easterly coasts of North America. The discovery of the Rocky
Mountains - a remote and rugged landscape unfamiliar to all but the
local Native American tribes - sparked a new phase of exploration.
Among the first people to learn the lay of these vast lands were
fur trappers and traders. Hearing tell of great forests and craggy
lands, heavily populated by beasts whose pelts would fetch a great
price, trappers such as Osborne Russell ventured to these places in
search of adventure and fortune: exotic, high quality fur pelts in
those days fetched a handsome price at market.
