Pretty good

I enjoyed this, and enjoy about learning about this time in history. It's a good book, but it wasn't memorable enough to give it 5 stars. Still, good enough that I recommend it.

Incredibly Racist, but interesting

Must have been ghost written by some hack. All the cliches about dirty, dishonest, savage Indians. Still, aspects are interesting. Recommend a read, but take with a good punch of salt.

An interesting catalog of experiences

Provides glimpses into his version of life as a trapper which are of interest as he was there. Engaging enough to make it an easy listen.

Amazing to know he met The Portland McLoughlin.

Beautiful historical story

I loved this mans story and discription of our beautiful country

Excellent
