This account of William Sherley Williams is perhaps the best account of the life of a mountain man ever written. In itinerant preacher, he appointed himself missionary to the Osages, who soon converted him to their ways. A master trapper, he was a guide of the Sibley survey of the Santa Fe trail in 1825, and guided two Fremont expeditions twenty years later. A controversial figure, his drunken sprees are still legend! Soft bound, 234 pages.
