Mountain Men: America’s First Frontier Legends

Tell me your favorite episode for the 6th anniversary show! Before cowboys became the symbol of the American West, there were the mountain men.  They crossed unmapped passes, trapped beavers in icy streams, lived among Native peoples, and helped open the way for the great migrations across the continent.  Their world was dangerous, lonely, and short-lived, but their impact on American history and legend was enormous.  Learn more about the history, reality, and legends behind the rise of the mountain man trappers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
