"Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own."
Seneca
A few men moved westward long
before the settlers and gold hunters began their
trek. They were solitary men who lived mostly off
the land. They traded with the Indians and spent a
great deal of time hunting and fur trapping. They
discovered the many trails that were later used by
the settlers that soon followed.
64% of the mountain men that were married had
married Native American women.
