About this listen

In 1834, Osborne Russell joined an expedition from Boston, which proceeded to the Rocky Mountains to capitalize on the lucrative salmon and fur trade. Beginning at the age of 20, he detailed the life of a trapper in his journal and recorded his adventures through treacherous terrain, encounters with dangerous wildlife, and confrontations with the natives of the Rockies.

Osbourne would remain there - hunting, trapping, and living off the land - for the next nine years. Journal of a Trapper is his remarkable account as he developed into an experienced trapper and a seasoned mountain man of the Rockies.

Well written firsthand accounts of an old time trapper's day to day life. Makes me wish I were in his shoes, but also makes me wonder if I could hack it.

Well written.

Plain plain. Uninspiring no substance. Just rambling with no great detail. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Nothing to speak of

the story is later out as if a timeline and has alot of interesting and unbelievable stories. It is written as if the writer was well educated, well described. The narrator is not monotone, and fits the narrative quite well.

interesting journey
