THE WEST - Jim Bridger: Mountain Man por Stanley Vestal
Jim Bridger, one of the most important scouts in the history of the West. By 1824, when he was only twenty, he had discovered the Great Salt Lake. Later he was to open the Overland Route, the path of the Overland Stage, the Pony Express, and the Union Pacific. One of the foremost trappers in the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.
Vestal here presents the facts and fiction about this legendary Wild West city. Originally published in 1952, the volume introduces us to the white hats and black hats who won the town a permanent place in U.S. history. The text is buttressed with photos and a bibliography.
This antiquarian volume contains a detailed and insightful biography of Jim Bridger, written by Stanley Vestal. Vestal is well-known for his books about America. In Jim Bridger he paints a bold and authentic picture of a doughty explorer and of the richness of the American nation when it was still young. Full of colourful anecdote and fascinating insights into the life of Jim Bridger, this text will appeal to those with an interest in this noteworthy explorer, and it would make for a wonderful addition to any personal collection.
