Summary
The accounts of the mountain men are spun from the experiences of a nation moving westward: a trapper returns from the dead; hunters feast on buffalo intestines served on a dirty blanket; a missionary woman is astounded by the violence and vulgarity of the trappers? rendezvous. These are just a few of the narratives, tall tales, and just plain lies that make up A Rendezvous Reader.
