Book Synopsis Wild Pride Montana by : Toby Walrath
Download or read book Wild Pride Montana written by Toby Walrath and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fur trapping in North America began at the turn of the sixteenth century when rugged mountain men pushed ever westward in search of beaver. These entrepreneurs possessed an unmatched sense of adventure, a relentless drive to succeed, and an uncanny ability to survive. The intimacy between man and nature discovered by these early explorers has been continued through hardy souls still lucky enough to know the thrill and excitement of a modern-day trapline. The proud heritage of America's fur-trappers lives on through trappers associations, trapper education programs, and the trappers who continue to live it. Follow the journey of a young boy in 20th century rural America who learned about wild lands and wildlife through fi rsthand experience. The people he meets along the way inspire him to write about trappers and trapping and the importance of preserving man's primitive crafts for the continuation of America's rich wildlife legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When suddenly, the bear rears up not thirty feet to the front of us; I react instantly, brining my rifle to my shoulder and firing almost at the same instant. I hit him, because, he looks at us. I turn and yell, Darleen up that tree! She gets the limb from her saddle while I'm still reloading and pulls her, self up. I wish that tree was bigger but, it was the nearest one to her position. I get my rifle reloaded just as the big grizzly breaks through the underbrush, spruce and aspen saplings not twenty feet in front of me. I throw the gun to my shoulder to fire. But, Pegasus starts bucking almost, as soon as, the rifle comes to my shoulder. Consequently, I get a shot off but, its a dead miss; because, both me and the rifle are flying through the air. I hit the ground hard, I lay all sprawled out. The next thing I feel is the bears hot breath. The rifle is ten feet away it might as well be ten miles and I couldnt reload fast enough anyway.

Book Synopsis Tales of Trails in the Far North by : Mike Potts
Download or read book Tales of Trails in the Far North written by Mike Potts and published by 102nd Place LLC. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of Trails in the Far North is a compilation of the time Mike Potts was blessed to follow his vision of the "free" life in the far north - Alaska. A straightforward telling of life in the frontier from 1968 to 1989, Mike takes us through his trials and errors in learning to survive in a wilderness that can be both beautiful and brutal, with temperatures as low as 60 below and summers only three months long. When Mike first arrived in Alaska he didn't know much about wilderness living, but he kept his eyes and ears open, listened when the Indians and old-timers spoke, and quickly learned not merely to survive, but thrive. He married a girl from Eagle Village on the Yukon River and together they raised a family, moving from cabin to cabin hunting and trapping on the trapline. These are their stories as much as his. This book is a precious record of a way of life that is gone forever. Mike's adventures are written so clearly you'll feel like you've lived those years in Alaska and had those adventures on the trapline yourself. But above all, you'll understand one man's love for Alaska and the faith in God it would come to give him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Could it be Maquesa?" was the next question that came to the mind of Harry, when he took occasion at the same instant to throw a sidelong glance at the other two, in the hope that possibly he could recognize one of them as the chief. But the scrutiny through the glass had not been complete enough to enable him to do this. He believed that all three of his visitors had been in the canoes at that time, but whether either of them was the Blackfoot for whom he and the old hunter had been so persistently searching for many days, and for whom the trapper was hunting this very moment, whether he was one of the three, he could only conjecture.

Book Synopsis Leonard's Narrative by : Zenas Leonard
Download or read book Leonard's Narrative written by Zenas Leonard and published by . This book was released on 1904 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1830, Leonard, a native of Clearfield, Pennsylvania, ventured to embark in an expedition across the Rocky Mountains, an expedition which lasted over five years. Written in response to popular demand, so to speak, Leonard's account of these years, based in large part on a minute journal of every incident that occurred, is recognized as one of the fundamental sources on the exploration of the American West. His travels traced the Kansas, Republican, Platte, Sweetwater, Big Horn Yellowstone, Snake, Humboldt, and San Joaquin Rivers, all the way to San Francisco Bay and Monterey. A free trapper until the summer of 1833, when he entered the employ of Captain B.L.E. Bonneville, Leonard was part of the group sent under command of Captain Joseph Walker to explore the Great Salt Lake region - an expedition that resulted in Capt. Joseph Reddeford Walker's discovery of the overland route to California. The Narrative ends in August 1835, with Leonard's return to Independence.

Download or read book The Mountain Men written by George Laycock and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Journal of a Trapper by : Osborne Russell
Download or read book Journal of a Trapper written by Osborne Russell and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osborne Russell's thrilling lifetime of trapping and wilderness exploration makes for adventurous, eventful and highly readable autobiography. In the nineteenth century, the USA's wilderness was enormous and largely uncharted by the white European settlers who had, until the nineteenth century, been largely confined to the easterly coasts of North America. The discovery of the Rocky Mountains - a remote and rugged landscape unfamiliar to all but the local Native American tribes - sparked a new phase of exploration. Among the first people to learn the lay of these vast lands were fur trappers and traders. Hearing tell of great forests and craggy lands, heavily populated by beasts whose pelts would fetch a great price, trappers such as Osborne Russell ventured to these places in search of adventure and fortune: exotic, high quality fur pelts in those days fetched a handsome price at market. Russell's accounts take place between 1834 and 1843, beginning in the town of Independence, Missouri. Prefacing his journey with a warning that his recollections are not of a gentile or 'classical' nature, Russell offers a sequential series of episodes adapted from notes and diaries he kept over the years. Although he modestly downplays his recollections as 'rambles', Russell's narrative is often exciting; skirmishes with hostile Native Americans, and tense moments finding and catching creatures, make for riveting reading. As well as its valuable insight into the fur trapping trade, Journal of a Trapper also contains some historical insights into the era. Particularly we see how the incipient white settlers and the Native Americans interacted; often they would come to blows not from a desire of combat, but a lack of communication and poor understanding between the contrasting cultures. In all, this book remains a valuable and worthwhile account of a bygone age.
