Glory Days Gone Under: One Trapper's Personal Chronicle of the American Rocky Mountain Fur Trade 1833 1837 (Temple Buck Quartet)

The fourth and final volume in the Temple Buck Quartet describes the final years of the American Rocky Mountain fur trade (1833–1837) through the eyes and in the words of Temple Buck and his trapper comrades as they continue their determined quest for beaver through the uncharted wilderness of the Rockies. Through forbidding western deserts to the Pacific Ocean in Spanish California and back again, the companions harvest not only beaver pelts along the way, but a host of fresh adventures, new friendships, romance, and, at last, an unwelcome education in conservation, marketing, and gentlemen’s fashion. Temple Buck tells this true-to-life tale with homespun humor, matter-of-fact acceptance of high times and hardship, and the mountaineer’s abiding confidence that tomorrow will be better if you make it so.
