Author Description

Mountain man. The very term evokes images of larger-than-life characters who followed in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, blazing lonely trails through the unexplored wilderness of the great American West—courageous, resourceful, buckskin-clad pathfinders, hunters, trappers, and traders who lived off the land and made friends with Native Americans, French-Canadian Métis, Mexican settlers, and fellow Americans alike. They faced and often overcame the perils of the unforgiving Mountain West, including its vast distances, daunting high country, and dangerous wildlife. Lingering into the eras of the Oregon Trail, the Civil War, Indian Wars, and even into the early twentieth century, mountain men served as scouts, guides, ambassadors, traders, wildlife managers, and custodians of America’s first national parks.
