"I read this book while deer hunting. It was a great way to pass the time and be in nature at the same time. It is not a difficult read, but it is a good book of the history of the west."

— Joshua (4 out of 5 stars)

    " A good book on the contribution of mountain men in opening and settling the west. However the book fails when the author attempts of recreate the manner and language of the mountain men. He should stick to that which he has direct knowledge of. "
