Just finishing up this one, "Mountain Man," written by Vardis Fisher. Published 1965. It is the book that the "Jeremiah Johnson" movie with Robert Redford was based on. It is a dandy, especially if you are interested in the old west, Lewis & Clark days, etc.

Sounds good. Not on audible though. :(

I'll check it out. I was hoping this was a "Mountain Man" by Keith C Blackmore thread. I highly recommend that as well although the genre is slightly different.

Some say Fisher plagiarized from the book Crow Killer, which is a much better book and taken from eye witness accounts of Johnson and other mountain men.

James Clyman was an interesting man.
http://www.amazon.com/Journal-Mountain-Man-Clymans-Classics-ebook/dp/B00DUGU7TA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1445222296&sr=1-1&keywords=James+Clyman The one problem with this book is James Clyman thought that an intelligent man should not spell the same word twice in a row the same way. It takes a while to catch on to how he spells things. It is still a good read. |

You may also want to read Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper.

Tried to read that Vardis Fisher book, couldn't get into it for some reason. I didn't know it was the "Jeremiah Johnson" movie basis, got that on DVD somewhere.
I just finished "The Revenant" by Michael Punke. They are making a movie of it though the book is from 2002. Good read about Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, et al. Hking |
