muzzy1 said Frontier Reailty. Well written in the dialect of the times. Entertaining and informative . A great peak into the history of the American frontier. Follow the life of a trapper from the earliest days of our vast country to the times when the West was just beginning to draw humanity into it's wilderness.. Andy Kober said Excellent read.. Excellent story-telling skills. Johnston does an admirable job in developing characters and a main storyline. He also incorporates side issues quite well. For fans of the age of American exploration, specifically the mountain men, this is a must read. The author manages to get the rea. I liked this book! Interesting quasi-historical story of the fur trappers in the American west in the 1830s.Great consistent writing and real historical characters.
