Summary: Sweeping!
Comment: This is a very good compendium of the principal players in the early American West. This former historian for the National Park Service knows his stuff and has produced an engaging, yet very scholarly book. It is a story of early exploration and commerce. In it you will meet all of the principal mountain men from John Colter and Jedediah Smith to Kit Carson, Joe Meek and Jim Bridger. Laid out in a very chronological fashion it covers the period from just after the Lewis and Clark Expedition up to the mid 1850's. It is a remarkable story of grit and determination as displayed by a series of unique individuals, who, it turns out, knew each other well. A fun read with some absolutely remarkable maps, Utley brings his subjects to life and details the amazing contributions these men made to America as we geographically know it today.
