AMERICAN FRONTIERSMEN: American Legends #4 From the author of American Outlaws, American Lawmen, and American Pirates and Privateers comes the next volume in the celebrated American Legends series. They pushed beyond the maps. They crossed the mountains, forded the rivers, and stepped into the unknown with little more than a rifle, a knife, and an unbreakable will. These were the American frontiersmen-mountain men, trailblazers, scouts, settlers, and wilderness survivors who carved a nation out of the raw edge of the continent. In American Frontiersmen, Grandpa Ripley brings to life the gripping true stories of the bold explorers, trappers, and pathfinders who opened the West. Meet the legendary figures whose courage, cunning, and sheer grit turned wilderness into opportunity and myth into history. From the Appalachian trails to the Rocky Mountain high country, from river boats to lonely trading posts, these are the men (and the rare women) who lived free, fought hard, and left their mark on a young republic. Packed with vivid storytelling, little-known facts, and the same hard-hitting, no-nonsense style that made the earlier books in the series favorites among history lovers, American Frontiersmen continues the American Legends saga with another collection of larger-than-life characters who refused to stay on the settled side of the frontier. Perfect for fans of the Wild West, American history, and tales of grit and adventure. The frontier is calling-ride along with the legends who answered.
