Animal Descriptions From A Mountain Man ("Journal of a Trapper" Osborne Russell 1843)

On this episode of "The Something in the Wild Podcast" I read strait from the book " The Journal of a Trapper" by Osborne Russell. This book is the most accurate and detailed account of the mountain man era and gives detailed descriptions of all animals he encountered on his journey. It is quite fascinating and I hope you enjoy the listen!
