Mountain
Men
Following America's
War of Independence the United States expanded beyond its
borders. Through diplomacy, negotiations and war she rapidly
moved to the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Rio
Grande, the Canadian Border and Alaska. The early explorers of
the west were men called Mountain Men. They traveled alone,
worked with the Native
Americans and made a living from pelts and trading.
