Traveling is an extraordinary experience every person needs to try. It reveals a whole new and exciting world out there, opens out your inner strength, and presents with unforgettable adventures

And this two-volume work provides the reader with not only the life's experiences of this famous mountain man, trapper, explorer, and scout; but also an extensive description of events in the West that directly impacted his adventurous life.

Volume I introduces the reader to early efforts by fur traders, men who were heroes to a young Jim Bridger. It further traces Bridger's early years as a trapper and explorer, introduces the men he came to know and work with, his native American wives and children, as well as famous US pioneers such as John Fremont, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, and Father, Pierre De Smet. Further described are his efforts to establish a successful trading post at Fort Bridger and the early days at Fort Laramie on the Overland Trail including his interpreting for the Shoshones at the Fort Laramie Treaty in 1851. Volume II continues with Bridger becoming ever more engaged as a US Army scout on topographical explorations of the Yellowstone and the Great Salt Lake, the military efforts to secure the Overland Road from attacks by hostile Indians, the Powder River campaign, and the fight for the Montana Road(Bozeman Trail)
