"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."

" Fun easy reading history of the mountain man era done as a series of stories/events "
— Cory, 11/6/2013 -
" I did not actually finish this book. Even after a good deal of effort, I could not really get into. Such is life at times. "
— Liz, 10/30/2013 -
" I loved this non-fiction account of the "mountain men" of the West during the first three decades of the nineteenth century. "
— Sharon, 9/23/2013 -
" 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. "
— Jack, 8/9/2013 -
