Even among the mighty mountain men, Jim Bridger was a towering figure. Fur trapper and Indian fighter extraordinary, he was one of the greatest explorers and pathfinders in American history. He could not write his own name, but at eighteen he had braved the fury of the Missouri, ascending it in a keelboat flotilla, steered by that stalwart, Mike Fink. By 1824, when he was only twenty, he had discovered the Great Salt Lake. Later he was to open the Overland Route, which was the path of the Overland Stage, the Pony Express, and the Union Pacific; and, as one of the foremost trappers in the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, he became the most important scout and guide in the entire West. --- From the back cover.
