Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary mountain man James P. Beckwourth was an icon of his time, and an inspiration to generations of wilderness explorers and adventurers. A chapter-by-chapter recollection of the greatest adventures of Beckwourth's life, this autobiography recounts the experiences which served to build the legend around his name. Born a slave to a white father and a black, enslaved mother, Beckwourth never knew or experienced easy living. Apprenticed as a blacksmith by his father and master, an argument with the smithy led to his expulsion from the job. After the family moved to Missouri, the assertive young James persuaded his father to free him from slavery; after a series of court hearings between 1824 and 1826, he gained his freedom. Life as a free man of black heritage was difficult in the United States of the early 19th century. Finding nature to be better company than his fellow man much of the time, the young Beckwourth headed westward and joined the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, which he saw as an opportunity to partially escape civilization and become trained in the ways of hunting in the deep wilderness. Little did Beckwourth know that this decision would come to define his entire existence; a hunter of unusual skill and prowess, he soon distinguished himself from his colleagues. The next four decades saw him variously enlist with the U. S. Army, run a hotel and open a storefront - however his primary vocation was to always be hunting, trapping and selling furs. In the 19th century, Beckwourth's dictated autobiography was dismissed as mere exaggerated campfire stories. Yet subsequent generations of historians and the black civil rights movement, gave both Beckwourth and his great adventures a new lease of life in the 20th century. Now regarded as an important work of social history, it is with pride that the publisher presents this memoir complete with illustrations of its author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Pierson Beckwourth (1798 or 1800 - 1866 or 1867), born James Beckwith and generally known as, Jim Beckwourth was an American mountain man, fur trader, and explorer. A mulatto born into slavery in Virginia, he was freed by his father (and master) and apprenticed to a blacksmith; later he moved to the American West. As a fur trapper, he lived with the Crow Nation for years. He is credited with the discovery of Beckwourth Pass, through the Sierra Nevada (U.S.) Mountains, between present-day Reno, Nevada, and Portola, California, during the California Gold Rush years, and improved the Beckwourth Trail, which thousands of settlers followed to central California.He narrated his life story to Thomas D. Bonner, an itinerant justice of the peace. The book was published in New York and London in 1856 as The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth: Mountaineer, Scout and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians. A translation was published in France in 1860.Early historians of the Old West originally considered the book little more than campfire lore. It has since, been reassessed as a valuable source of social history, especially, for life among the Crow, although, not all its details are reliable or accurate. The civil rights movement of the 1960s celebrated Beckwourth as an early African-American pioneer. He has since, been featured as a role model in children's literature and textbooks.
