About This Item
Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 1970. First Bison Book Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/4" x 8. 333 pages. Indexed. First Bison Book printing May 1970 of a William Morrow & Company 1955 Fourth printing. The originally copyrighted in 1946. No defects noted and interior text pages are flawless. Even among the mighty mountain men, Jim Bridger was a towering figure. Fur trapper and Indian fighter extraordinary, he was one of the greatest explorers and pathfinders in American history. He could not write his own name, but at eighteen he had braved the fury of the Missouri, ascending it in a keelboat flotilla steered by that stalwart, Mike Fink. By 1824, when he was only twenty, he had discovered the Great Salt Lake. Later he was to open the Overland Route, which was the path of the Overland Stage, the Pony Express, and the Union Pacific. One of the foremost trappers in the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, he was a legend in his own time as well as ours. He remains one of the most important scouts and guides in the history of the entire West.
