Journal of a Trapper - Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834 - 1843 - Being a General Description of the Country, Climate, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains,

Reader, if you are in search of the travels of a classical and scientific tourist, please to lay this volume down, and pass on, for this simply informs you what a trapper has seen and experienced. But if you wish to peruse a hunter’s rambles among the wild regions of the Rocky Mountains, please to read this, and forgive the author’s foibles and imperfections, considering as you pass along that he has been chiefly educated in Nature’s school under that rigid tutor, Experience, and you will also bear in mind the author does not hold himself responsible for the correctness of statements made otherwise than from observation. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
