Book Description
Letters from 1836... These first-person accounts of a trapper's life in the Rockies were letters written by Robert Campbell to his brother. They were first published as a serial in the National Atlas and Tuesday Morning Mail (Philadelphia), Nov 1 - Dec 6, 1836 giving eastern Americans a view onto the wild mountains of the West.. The five letters present an authentic look at the wild frontier of that time period of the early 1800's, and tell much of the bloody encounters with the various tribes of the area, both friendly and not. A quick, but fascinating read.
