Review: A true classic. Authentic story of the days of Mountain Men - This is a true writing of what the West was like in the days of the Mountain Men. It is a diary of what one Mountain Man experienced and saw. He shares his amazement at things like endless herds of buffalo and seeing what is now Yellowstone. Good book for adult, but even my teenage grandkids find it an easy read and very interesting
Review: Fascinating and Fun - This journal is just that, the journal of a trapper from the early 1800's. It's a bit rough to read at times as you are just reading his journal, very bland and basic at times, yet it clearly paints the picture of what it is like for a man to venture out into west to try his hand at being a mountain man. It's hard to rate this book because on the one hand it is not a great autobiography in the sense of being a great literary work, but it is truly fascinating to read the words of a trapper from that era, rather than a biographer telling you about him. Keep in mind, it is quite dry in many places, and the punctuation is a little more challenging. But it is worth it if you are interested in the daily life, both the mundane, less glamorous parts, as well as the challenges of what it would have been like for an ordinary mountain man to try his hand at it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Journal of a Trapper - Read for Historical Insight
*by J***N on March 23, 2026*

This was very interesting history about the how the Western states before being settled was the land of killing and trapping wildlife for the fur industry. I was wanting more details or information about the lifestyle. It was referencing an actual trapper's journal for the story. He was a man of few descriptive words. The main point I got was the fur bearing animals were exploited and killed without any thought to the future consequences. To this day, the grizzlies, moose, elk, beaver, etc. have not recovered and are still killed for man's pleasure.
