Caleb Greenwood

A tall, muscular, illiterate ‘lesser mountain man,’ says one report. A California Trail guide and part-time warrior, who scurried in and out of the pages of Western American history for eighty-seven years.

Today we will be talking about a little known character of the West.

A man who ran from trouble back East and made a name for himself as a pioneer, a fur trapper, guide, and even helped in the rescue of the Donner Party at age 84.
