Summary: Mountainman Crafts and Skills: A Fully Illustrated Guide...
Review: This is a worthwhile book only if you aren't very concerned about historical authenticity or the material culture of the fur trade period. If you want to make gear with greater historical authenticity you are better off studying the Book of Buckskinning series by Scurlock. The Scurlock series is based on evolving scholarship, and has improved with every volume as historical and material culture research has revealed more knowledge to students of that period in history.
