Lure of the wild.

Description:

*When America Was The Land of the Free* In 1828, although the United States had only been in existence for fifty years, some cities were already bustling, overcrowded metropolises. Beyond the Mississippi River, however, lay a vast region unexplored by white men. There, nineteen-year-old Nathaniel King and a rugged mountain man named Shakespeare McNair headed for a rendezvous of trappers and fur traders in the Rocky Mountains. But hostile utes and Blackfeet Indians pursued them relentlessly, determined to have their scalps. Despite the protection of a friendly band of Shoshone, Nathaniel and his companion faced a peril that might mean not only the end of their quest for freedom, but the end of their lives.
