Four Years in the Rockies

Or, The Adventures of Isaac P. Rose, of Shenango Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania

De: James B. Marsh

Narrado por: Traber Burns

James Marsh's Four Years in the Rockies gives brilliant insight into the life of Isaac P. Rose, a man who forged his own path in the wilderness of the far west.

This thrilling account of one mountain man's life at the height of the 19th-century fur industry follows Rose as he overcomes adversity, learns from those around him, and becomes one of the most successful trappers of the Rockies.

During the course of these years, Rose survives perilous weather conditions, fends off some of the most dangerous animals in North America, and nearly loses an arm during a skirmish with a group of Native Americans.

Four Years in the Rockies is essential listening for anyone interested in the 19th-century fur trade and the adventurers who risked their lives to be part of it.

Great story

What a wild ride he had. This is a very entertaining book. Would recommend this.

Excellent individual stories.

There are many excellent stories in this book. Some are sad and some are funny but all of them are interesting.
The narrator does a good job.
I felt sad to finish the book and would have liked more time with these interesting characters.

Entertaining to say the least

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The reader is excellent. I actually read books based on this reader. Thank you.

Loved it

Being a history buff, I loved this book. I liked learning the grammar they used back then as compared to what we use today.

Great book, great man

This man was amazing. We need to teach our sons to be more like this man and go out and explore and have adventures. No more teaching our sons to feel guilt for all of the great things our ancestors have accomplished. This book is testament to how things really were back then. Indians were not the peace loving “noble savages” we’ve since branded them. They were a diverse people with diverse ways and some of them were absolutely violent and brutal and terrible.
