Excerpt from With Kit Carson, in the Rockies<br/><br/>The United States owes much to the trappers, to the men who shouldered their long-barreled ri?es, mounted their tough little horses, slung traps and packs on the backs of horses and mules, and went forth fearlessly into the wilds of the then unexplored wildernesses of the Great West, lured thither by the gold on the backs of the beavers and the other fur bearing animals and by the call of the wild to their own adventurous spirits. They were not only the real finders of the way to the West, but, also, of the ways through the West to the Pacific Ocean. Long before the days of the explorers, like Pike and Long and Fremont, even before that adventurous wilder ness journey of Lewis and Clark, the trails of the trappers had crossed and recrossed the Rocky Mountains and the cracks of their ri?es had been heard in their most hidden fastnesses.
