" I unexpectedly enjoyed this story of historical fiction about the beaver fur trade, This is a book about mountain men in the American west in the years around, The story drags a bit in spots, but is generally a worthwhile read and it give a good impression of both the daytoday hard work and boredom of beaver trapping, and the occasional terror of hostile savages.

The detail of the trapping and the glorious expansive shining mountains make you fell like you are there, The younger Titus Bass is learning the ways of a mountain man, Read this one twice. This book continues the adventures of Titus Bass and is a detailed account of how he sets off to become a mountain man, From the details here, you could probably learn to set your beaver trap, Real pageturner.
