To know how the West was really won; start with the exploits of these unsung mountain men who; like the legendary Jeremiah Johnson; were real buckskin survivalists. Preceded only by Lewis and Clark; beaver fur trappers roamed the river valleys and mountain ranges of the West; living on fish and game; fighting or trading with the Native Americans; and forever heading toward the untamed wilderness.In this story of rough; heroic men and their worlds; Laycock weaves historical facts and practical instruction with profiles of individual trappers; including harrowing escapes; feats of supreme courage and endurance; and sometimes violent encounters with grizzly bears and Native Americans.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. strongly recommendedBy William R. Downing Jr.This is a very well researched; and well done book for anyone who's ever wondered about looking for crashed aircraft . McCurry's research and lots of clear color photos of the sites and wreckage; coupled with the backstory makes this one a page turner. He's also included dozens of coordinates that can be found on GOOGLE EARTH of other wreck sites; some of it in pretty remote locations. a good buy for any airplane nut.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
