Summary: Very good collection of tales
Comment: A good book to keep by the bed to help you fall asleep with images of a time that is gone forever.
Not to be confused with a history book written by any one person, A Rendezvous reader is a collection of selections from journal entries, newspaper articles and books, most only a page or two long, that show the culture and folklore of the mountain men and the beautifully wild world in which they lived. It describes everything from trapping techniques, encounters with grizzlies, descriptions of giant heards of buffalo, bloody fights with blackfeet, common and uncommon sources of food, surgery on the trail, beggers, weapons, river crossings, whisky, everything you might ever want to know about rendevous, why many were motivated to let out for the mountains in the first place and so much more.
The selections in this book offer the sights and sounds, smells and tastes of yonder mountains which makes worthwhile reading.
