Jim Bridger: Trailblazer

A mountain man of the American West, straddling the fur trade era and the age of exploration, he lived the life legends are made of, his adventures fit for the remaking into the tall tales Bridger himself liked to tell. Here, in a biography that gives this outsize character his due, Jerry Enzler takes the mountain man and guide's full measure-and tells a story that would do Jim Bridger proud.
