Description
Fur trappers and traders of the early nineteenth century relied on a range of devices to open the untracked American west. This guide explores the tools that enabled their journeys, including guns, traps, knives, axes, and other iron instruments.
Carl P. Russell's exhaustive coverage of the tools used by mountain men, compiled over thirty-five years of research, provides a unique insight into this period of American history. The result is a lively and informative history that is as much about the devices used as it is about the people who used them.
With meticulous appendices and a wealth of interesting facts, this book offers a detailed look at the equipment of the trappers and fur traders who shaped the American west.
