 | | This one is the story of Hugh Glass, a hunter with the Ashley Expedition which opened the West to the American Fur Trade in 1823. |
 | | There were a number of fl trappers, some of them, like Beckwourth, unacknolwedged children of Southern planters. |
 | | De Voto weaves together the Ashley expedition, which established the U.S. presence in the Rockies, and the visit of Scottish lord George Drummond Stewart, patron of painter Alfred Jacob Miller, to the Green River Rendezvous of 1824. |
