Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Mountain Men were the principal figures of the fur trade era, one of the most interesting, dramatic, and truly significant phases of the history of the American trans-Mississippi West during the first half of the 19th Century. These men were of all types--some were fugitives from law and civilization, others were the best in rugged manhood; some were heroic, some brutal, most were adventurous, and many were picturesque. The typical trapper was a young man--strong hardy and adventure loving. Having succumbed to the lure of the wilderness, his thin veneer of civilization soon rubbed off. In the wilds he had little need for money--barter supplied his simple wants. Possibly short on book-learning, he could read moccasin tracks, beaver sign, and trace of the travois. Memorials to them cover the West. Mountain peaks, passes, rivers and lakes carry their names. Towns and counties have been christened in their honor. Their trails have become our highways--their campfire ashes, our cities. The fourth volume comprises 397 pages, and contains 31 biographical sketches, 15 illustrations. Included in Volume IV are the biographies of George Bent; Robert Bent; George Drouillard; Moses Black Harris; James Ohio Pattie; Joshua Pilcher, Antoine Robidoux; John Rowland; Peter Sarpy; Thomas L. (Peg-leg) Smith.…

Paperback. First Edition. Demy table, [20cm/8inches], paperbound with pictorial covers, pp. 212. Indexed. Fully illustrated with b-w halftones, colour plates. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Blue Riband is an unofficial accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the record highest speed. The term was borrowed from horse racing and was not widely used until after 1910. Traditionally, the record is based on average speed rather than passage time because ships follow different routes. Also, eastbound and westbound speed records are reckoned separately, as the more difficult westbound record voyage, against the Gulf Stream and the prevailing weather systems, typically results in lower average speeds even in the same ship. In exceptionally good condition.…
