Journal Of A Trapper

""Journal of a Trapper"" is a first-hand account of the life of a mountain man in the Rocky Mountains during the early 19th century. The book covers the years 1834-1843 and was written by Osborne Russell, who spent nine years in the wilderness trapping animals for their fur. The journal is filled with descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and encounters with Native American tribes. Russell provides a detailed account of the daily life of a trapper, including the challenges of surviving in the harsh wilderness, the camaraderie among the trappers, and the dangers posed by wild animals and hostile tribes. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and provides insight into the lives of the men who helped open up the American West.Being A General Description Of The Country, Climate, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Etc., And A View Of The Life Led By A Hunter In Those Regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
