These stories are mainly addressed to greenhorns newly come to the mountains, but they are also intended to mystify and amuse veteran companions starved for entertainment. A few of the tales are a re-telling of the whoppers of Jim Bridger and Black Harris, such as Bitter Crick and The Peetrified Mountain. Most are original outrageous lies of Henry's own, related in the mountaineer tradition. All of the stories contain glimpses of the difficult, dangerous life of that rowdy breed of men who challenged America's unchartered wilderness and who survived and triumphed because of their courage, fortitude and unquenchable laughter in the face of hardship and peril. Come along and sprawl beside a beaver camp cookfire and hear how it was-and wasn't-in the Rocky Mountain fur trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALSO BY EDWARD LOUIS HENRY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe TEMPLE BUCK QUARTET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Rocky Mountain Odyssey\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume 1: Backbone of the World (1822-1824)\u003cbr\u003e Volume 2: Free Men (1824-1826)\u003cbr\u003e Volume 3: Shinin' Times!
