Clyman's experiences in the heyday of the American fur trade & during the peak of immigration to Oregon & California. He was a member of Jedediah Smith's first brigade, which discovered South Pass & opened the inter-mountain West to the beaver hunters.
'These journals preserve, in his own homey words, James Clyman's experiences in the heyday of the American fur trade and during the peak of immigration to Oregon and California. The events Clyman recorded were momentous. He was a member of Jedediah Smith's first brigade, which discovered South Pass and opened the inter-mountain West to the beaver hunters. Crossing the country during the great migration of 1846, he encountered the Donner party and gave them sound advice that they tragically ignored.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"Journal of a Mountain Man is especially valuable. The journals are conspicuously sober and meticulous. . . Clyman shows the mental bent of surveyor: he scrupulously takes measurements and notes down facts. . . Alongside the vivid but exaggerated sketches some mountain men have left us, we are lucky to have the record of one man who was a keen, thorough, and precise observer."
--Editor Linda Hasselstrom
