Publisher's summary

When Zach Connors and his pa left their Kentucky homestead in the summer of 1824 to see the Rocky Mountains, he didn't realize he would never see his childhood home again or that he would find love, friendship, fame, and a new home in this wild and harsh wilderness.

After a grizzly kills his pa, Zach struggles to survive a cold and brutal winter alone. After killing a rouge grizzly and fighting hostile Indians on his own, he becomes known as Grizzly Killer and is respected throughout the West.

Along with his dog, Jimbo, whom the Indians call the Great Medicine Dog, he finds Running Wolf, an injured Ute warrior, and together they fight off a hostile war party. They rescue two Shoshone sisters from the brutality of a French trapper and take them as wives. After Zach saves Running Wolf's beautiful sister, Shining Star, he is expected to take her as a second wife, but his Christian beliefs conflict with the Indian traditions, and he struggles within himself to accept the Indian ways.

Set in the rugged Uinta Mountains of Northern Utah, this is a story of survival against nature and hostile Indians and the clash of cultures between the Indians and mountain men that were the first to brave this uncharted wilderness, seeking their fortune from the pelts of the beaver.

Great listen

I really enjoyed this book. I thought gave a really good account of the life of a mountain man. I gave it only a four star because I felt it could have given us a little more detail of the mountains or the time to get somewhere. I got confused when the hero was suddenly somewhere and I'd have to go back to make sure I hadn't miss heard something.

I liked the character and the names of the Indians. I think it was realistic for a mountain man.

Not very realistic similar to Hollywood

This is like a Louie Lamore book there are hints of realism speckled throughout the story there isn’t really any dramatic climax to the story .in a period of one year the main character has more adventures than Lewis and Clark would have had in two lifetimes. Still it was a fun book to listen to. Made a long weekend at work go by fast

Best Mountain Man Series

I was raised in north west Wyoming out side of Yellowstone were the Rocky mountains meet the plains. These stories take me back to the tales and legends passed down from my elders. To hear these stories told in this way, makes it easy to slip back in time when thing were new and unspoiled.
