The
Mountain Man Web Ring Mountain men
were trappers and explorers who roamed the North
American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 to the
early 1840s. Mountain men were ethnically, socially,
and religiously diverse. Most were born in Canada,
the United States, or in Spanish governed Mexico
territories, although some European immigrants moved
west in search of financial opportunity.
Mountain men were primarily motivated
by profit, trapping beaver and selling the skins,
although some were more interested in exploring the
West.
Historical reenactment of the
dress and lifestyle of a mountain man, sometimes
known as buckskinning, allows people to recreate
aspects of this historical period. Rendezvous and
other reenacted events are both history-oriented and
social occasions.
Some modern men choose a lifestyle
similar to that of historic mountain men. They may
live and roam in the mountains of the west or the
swamps in the southern United States.
Here you will find out about the
Mountain Man of old and the Mountain Man of today.
