If you could pick just one book about the mountain men era ( other than Crow Killer and the Journals of Lewis and Clark ) to have with you when snowed in for the winter, which one would you choose?

Give Your Heart To The Hawks Author: Winfred Blevins. This is a very good accounting of the Mt. Man era. Well worth reading for anyone interested in that era.

I guess that I just like to read the stuff thats in their own words as much as possible. I would have a tough time deciding between three.
Wah-To-Yah and the Taos Trail 1847 Memoir by Lewis Garrard. This is the classic that gives us a sence of how the trappers talked and spun yarns.
James Clyman Frontiersman. the Adventures of a Trapper and Covered-Wagon Emigrant as Told in His Own Reminiscences and Diaries. This was also reprinted as a paperback with the title Journel of a Trapper
Not to be confused with Journel of a Trapper by Osborne Russell. This guy admits to some failures as a greenhorn. Great read
