Mountain Men and Fur Traders of the Far West: Eighteen Biographical Sketches
Wish they'd gone deeper into the stories of the Indian encounters, and hardships endured in the mountains. It seems like all the contributors were told to just stick to tracing when and where each of the subjects travelled to. But very little focus on what happened at those places.
