Boco trapper B Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 45,474 james bay frontierOnt.	Originally Posted by Jasper69 Empire of the Summer Moon. I read a lot of western history because a lot took place in my home state of Montana. But this is one of THE best books I've ever read. It is the story of the Comanches and Quannah Parker, the last great war chief. I can remember the author's name of the top of my head, but he is a great writer. The research he did to write that book must have been unbelievable. Yep,great book.S C Gwynne. Another one is Bury my heart at wounded knee-by Dee Brown. Last edited by Boco; 12/14/20 08:02 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Bush living, wolf hunter /trapper. Had a team of wolf dogs. Highly recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/user/yukonjeffimagery/videos?disable_polymer=1
