Resumen del Editor

From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Campfire Stories: Close Calls comes a new original audiobook that brings to life the bold, hair-raising, and often tragic adventures of a generation of eighteenth-century frontiersmen: the Long Hunters.

Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.

The feats of these courageous, resilient backwoodsmen forever shaped a national identity centered around individualism, capitalism, freedom, and the need for wild places and wild animals.

Excellent Review of Obscure History

This project was well researched and the audible narration was excellent too. Anyone who likes whitetailed deer, deer hunting, colonial American history, or native American history will enjoy this too.

Great insight into an interesting time in history

I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. I wasn't really sure what to expect but it was both entertaining and informative. Before listening I heard a Meateater podcast where they said this was written to be listened to, not read. I thought that was an interesting comment and had it in my mind as I listened. Now that I've completed the book, I agree with that comment. I hope Meateater continues to expand upon this series. Well done!

Fantastic

One of my favorite and one of the best books I have ever listened too.

Detail Oriented and Informative

I really enjoyed the unbiased way the info was presented. Throughout my time it seems as though most stories of history were presented with a pre ordained narrative that leads thought. I appreciate the way the research was shared that lets the audience form their own opinions.

Real history

I really enjoyed this telling of where we as a nation came from. History today is being so distorted with emphasis it seems on mostly trying re write it. To hear about and be able to identify in small ways with the great pioneers that came before us, gave me a sense of pride and humility. I no doubt will listen to this again and again as I travel to my own versions of “long hunting”.

hunting is conservation because it haw to be.

the passion and breakdown of the legends of hunting and their relation abd relevance to the ever growing and changing world of the American colonies

Great writing and fantastic story telling

Loved this and look forward to more in the future. The history is fascinating and the storytelling was on point

Amazing research and story telling

I really enjoying the finer details of the long hunters hunts, fur handling, and survival tactics.

A history lesson every hunter should hear!

Wow guys! This far exceeded my expectations. Thanks for putting forth the effort and research. This is one of those situations where I didn’t know what I didn’t know! I loved the flow of the information and the back and forth between Clay and Steves voices kept my attention. I’m quite the fan and can’t wait for the next one!
