About this listen
From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Campfire Stories: Close Calls comes a new original audiobook that brings to life the bold, hair-raising, and often tragic adventures of a generation of eighteenth-century frontiersmen: the Long Hunters.
Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.
The feats of these courageous, resilient backwoodsmen forever shaped a national identity centered around individualism, capitalism, freedom, and the need for wild places and wild animals.

I tried to explain and rationalize this excitement to my very sensible best friend… she was also equally baffled. I concluded to her I believed that I prefer literature that doesn’t trouble me emotionally or leave me feeling overly invoked.
In advance to the release, I had also pondered the authors gravitation to this period of history… I believe the ambitions of the authors had been achieved…. to my surprise, I was left disturbed, horrified, sickened and enlightened on the mentality of the long hunters.
I often had visions of heading off into the wilderness to work a trap line … Horrified at the possibility I could descend into madness, I have since decided to have a change of heart listening to the story of darkness.
In conclusion, it shines the light on conservation and the necessity of strengthening its importance, a familiar theme in the works of Steven Rinella.

This recording could have had me listen from start to finish in one sitting if life could let me. I’ll never be in their company to shake their hands so I figured one more positive review would suffice.
Well worth the time to listen.
