Sylvan Heart, The last of the Mountain men

Back around 1971 My brother in law took me to see the film "Man in the wilderness" which was a Mountain man film loosely based on the Saga of real life Mountain man Hugh Glass. A day or so after that he gave me a ratty paperback copy of the book "The last of the mountain men" by Herold Peterson.

In my youthful enthusiasm I read and reread that book until the covers fell off. I wandered the woods and Hollers of the homestead imagining myself as a mountain man and trapper.

It is a great book, and there are others on the subject of this American legend. Check them out. You might enjoy his colorful story.
