About The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth

<p><em>*</em>*Born into slavery in 1798, James P. Beckwourth would go on to become one of the most remarkable mountain men to have ever lived.<br> </p>In 1824 Beckwourth left Missouri to head to the Rocky Mountains to work for William Ashley’s Rocky Mountain Fur Company. <br> <p>He would never turn back.<br> </p>In his fascinating life, spent in the mountains and plains of the West, he lived as a trapper, hunter, guide, horse thief and Indian fighter. <br> <p>What is particularly fascinating about Beckwourth’s book is his insight into the culture of the Native Americans, as for many years, this son of a slave and a slave owner, lived with the Crow Nation, trapping, hunting, marrying two of their women and raiding alongside them. It is even stated that he rose to the position of Chief of the Crow Nation.<br> </p>First published in 1856, <em>The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth</em> is a unique account of life in pioneer America in the early-nineteenth century.<br> "This is a book of great importance to an understanding of the mountains, plains, and Great Basin West." <em>California Historical Quarterly</em><em><br></em> "It remains what it always has been since its first appearance in 1856—a rousing adventure story in which Jim Beckwourth plays the leading role." <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> <br> <p>James Beckwourth was the only African American in the West to have his life story published. He was credited with the discovery of Beckwourth Pass which aided pioneers in reaching their destination in the West. He died in 1866.</p>
