Naratives of the Adventures of Zenas Leonard
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the first of the Narrative Press books that I've read. I will read others. Zenas could write - many of the Mountain Men could not. It was great to read of some of his adventures and get a slightly different take on some of the events that happened - Back in the Day.
Exciting, thrilling, never a dull moment

I'd give this book six stars if it were allowed! Zenas Leonard came out to the American West as a fur trapper in 1831, this is his own narrative. He started out under the leadership of Captain Gant trapping beaver and traveling extensively throughout the west. Later he joined in with the famous Captain Joseph Walker expedition to explore a passage to California. You simply can not put this book down! Indians, grizzlies, starvation and thirst, freezing temperatures, more Indian troubles, first white men to see Yosemite and the Redwoods, one adventure after another! Vivid descriptions of what it was like back then. An engrossing book!
