Four Years In the Rockies tells the story of Isaac P. Rose, who went
from greenhorn to legendary trapper at the height of the fur-trade in
the 1830s. His narrative features a who's who of early American West
figures like Jim Bridger, Kit Carson and Nathaniel Wyeth, and features
many memorable sequences such as the trader's rendezvous, fights with
Native Americans and countless details not in mainstream history books -
for example, how Kit Carson found his wife. Four Years In the Rockies is
a definitive look at the era of the fur-trappers and is a must-read for
anyone interested in the history of the American West.
