40 Years in the life of a hunter, it's about MESACH BROWNING. Factual read of an Appalachian hunter. I have hunted a lot of the areas he references.

Crow killer was good. True story of Jeremiah Johnson.
I also second Alaska's Wolfman. Favorite book of all time.
Are you sure that photo is authentic? Looks like the dude might be wearing Nike soccer shoes, LOLIf you want a really crazy mountain man story you never hear of pick up a book called:
"Soldiers and Traveler: Memoirs of Alexander Gardner"
It is the accounts of Alex Gardner who was born in Wisconsin and was one of the first westerners to travel through Afghanistan and Pakistan in the early 1800s. He was a mercenary and worked for a number of tribal chieftains and warlords. He has some pretty harrowing accounts of being hunted in high passes and fighting in brutal tribal feuds. Eventually he made his way to the Punjab and worked for the Sikh Khalsa army and was part of the civil war and crazy intrigue and assassinations that happened after Runjeet Singh died. He is hands down one of the most interesting historical figures that have gone under the radar by most mainstream sources.

Here is the amazon link as the book is pretty hard to find.
The best book I have read in sometime. I bought copies for my hunting buddies last Christmas. All enjoyed.Alaska's Wolf Man, the story of Frank Glaser by Jim Rearden.
Unbelievable read about one of the toughest men ever to lace 'em up.
Frontersman by Allen Eckhart about the life of Simon Kenton . This is just one of 5 or 6 in a series he wrote. Very much worth reading.
