Got some in my library. Not gonna look for them tonight. But if I don't forget will check on titles and other pertinent info tomorrow. If I forget PM me to remind me.

are you looking for fiction or non fiction? as far as fiction there's a serial called trappers blood or wilderness or something like that. there's well over a hundred. and there real fiction not those sleazy western romances like the gunsmith. i think one of the characters name was shakespeare mcnair. GB, do you know what i'm talking about?

for non-fiction i recommend "with the indians in the rockies" a true story from the mid 1850's. aimed more at a teenage reader but still good none the less. you might also want to read the trappers volume from the time-life series "the old west".

1. The California Trail by George R. Steward, McGraw-Hill Book Co.

2. The Bloody Bozeman by Dorthy M. Johnson McGraw-Hill Book Co.

3. The American Heritage Book of Great Adventures of the Old West, American Heritage Press.

4. Voices from the Wilderness by Thomas Froncek, McGraw-Hill

5. The Westerners by Dee Brown from Holt, Rinehart and Winston

6. The Devil's Backbone by Jonathan Daniels, McGraw-Hill

7. The Great North Trail by Dan Cushman, McGraw-Hill

I have several others but wasn't able to get to them at this time. Not sure if this is just what you're looking for but maybe so.

I like Theodore Roosevelt's Outdoor Pasttimes of an American Hunter.  I have travelled through and enjoyed the lands he hunted and I admire his descriptions and perceptions.
