An epic saga based on true events of the American West --with the
trailblazing fur trappers and the mountain men who lived it. This is an
unforgettable journey into the untamed American frontier. Where nature
is cruel, violence lurks behind every tree, and where only the strongest
of the strong survive. This is a story of America.
TO THE RIVER'S END
Luke Ransom was just eighteen years old when he answered an ad in a St.
Louis newspaper that would change his life forever. The American Fur
Company needed one-hundred enterprising men to travel up the Missouri
River--the longest in North America--all the way to its source. They
would hunt and trap furs for one, two, or three years. Along the way,
they would face unimaginable hardships: grueling weather, wild animals,
hunger, exhaustion, and hostile attacks by the Blackfeet and Arikara.
Luke Ransom was one of the brave men chosen for the job--and one of the
few to survive . . .
Five years later, Luke is a seasoned trapper and hunter, a master of his
trade. The year is 1833, and the American Fur Company is sending him to
the now-famous Rendezvous at Green River. For Luke, it may be his last
job for the company. After facing death countless times, he is ready to
strike out on his own. But when he encounters a fellow trapper under
attack by Indians, his life takes an unexpected turn. A new friendship
is forged in blood. And a dangerous new journey begins...
