Pidgeon gets to know the burly river men and the bold, open-handed trappers-the Americans who thrust into the wilderness and blazed a way across the continent; gets to know the Indians, too, their violence and their strange wisdom; and helps Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger find the great South Pass-beyond a big mountain-that was to shorten the road to the Pacific and the Northwest.
