Review
James Crutchfield's Mountain Men Of The American West provides an easy introduction to one of the most interesting periods in American history. It includes a brief history of the fur trade era, over 100 short biographies on mountain men in the American West, and an annotated bibliography on books about the mountain man era. Crutchfield's informal style of writing, coupled with thorough research makes Mountain Men Of The American West a "must" for any history buff or student of the American West. -- Midwest Book Review
