Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first account of “Colter’s Run,” published in 1810, fascination with John Colter, one of America’s most famous and yet least known frontiersmen and discoverer of Yellowstone Park, has never waned. Unlike other legends of the era like Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Kit Carson, Colter has remained elusive because he left not a single letter, diary, or reminiscence. Gathering the available evidence and guiding readers through a labyrinth of hearsay, rumor, and myth, two Colter experts for the first time tell the whole story of Colter and his legend.
Download or read book John Colter written by Burton Harris and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Colter was a crack hunter with the Lewis and Clark expedition before striking out on his own as a mountain man and fur trader. A solitary journey in the winter of 1807-8 took him into present-day Wyoming. To unbelieving trappers he later reported sights that inspired the name of Colter's Hell. It was a sulfurous place of hidden fires, smoking pits, and shooting water. And it was real. John Colter is known to history as probably the first white man to discover the region that now includes Yellowstone National Park. In a classic book, first published in 1952, Burton Harris weighs the facts and legends about a man who was dogged by misfortune and "robbed of the just rewards he had earned." This Bison Book edition includes a 1977 addendum by the author and a new introduction by David Lavender, who considers Colter's remarkable winter journey in the light of current scholarship.

Book excerpt: Thirteen-year-old Colter’s summer vacation takes a twist when he finds himself on a broiling city sidewalk, on the hottest day of the year. The young man finds hope in an ad in the back of a comic book. It promises to send a special rock, for free, that he can plant in his backyard. The comic claims that rock will grow into a massive mountain almost no one else can see with rushing streams, towering evergreen forests, and lofty granite peaks covered with snow. Colter thinks it sounds like a scam but curiosity makes him send for it anyway. Imagine his surprise when everything the ad promised comes true! Time stands still in the ordinary world while he explores his own majestic wilderness. There he meets a mountain man named Bridger, who explains the ways of the wild. He warns Colter of the many dangers that lie ahead. He must seek the help of skilled climbers from a local mountaineering lodge, including a girl his age named Chrysanthemum.

Download or read book Gloomy Terrors and Hidden Fires written by Ronald M. Anglin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1810, when a newspaper published the first account of “Colter’s Run,” to 2012, when one hundred and fourscore participants in Montana’s annual John Colter Run charged up and down rugged trails—even across the waist-deep Gallatin River—interest in Colter, the alleged discoverer of Yellowstone Park, has never waned. Drawing on this endless fascination with an individual often called the first American mountain man, this book offers an innovative, comprehensive study of a unique figure in American history. Despite his prominent role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the early exploration of the West, Colter is distinctly different from Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, and the other legends of the era because they all left documents behind that allow access to the men themselves. Colter, by contrast, left nothing, not a single letter, diary, or reminiscence, so that second-, third-, or fourth-hand accounts of his adventures are all we have. Guiding readers through this labyrinth of hearsay, rumor, and myth, this is the first book to tell the whole story of Colter and his legend, examining everything that is known—or supposedly known—about Colter and showing how historians and history buffs alike have tried in vain to get back to Colter the man, know what he said and feel what he felt, but have ended up never seeing him clearly, finding instead an enigma they cannot unravel.
