"If you seek vicarious adventure, these pages await the armchair explorer." (Providence Journal)

In 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first US expedition to traverse the North American continent. During the 28-month ordeal, Colter served as a hunter and scout, and honed his survival skills on the western frontier. But when the journey was over, Colter stayed behind. He spent two more years trekking alone through dangerous and unfamiliar territory, charting some of the West's most treasured landmarks.

Historian David W. Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter's primary sources, and has retraced Colter's steps - experiencing firsthand how he survived in the wilderness.

More than half of the book was more of a encyclopedic account of the tools and needs of mountainmen and infians in general. The guns, knives, shelter types, horses, etc. were described in detail. The rest of the book was an account of Colters travels and adventures. I had hoped the entire book had been about Colters travels, but still, it was an interesting read. Narration was good.

Not what I thought but still interesting
