FA4 120mm Amos Garrett Rocky Mountain Trapper 1837 £31.50

During the first half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of hardy young men set out for the West looking for P beaver, the fur of which was in great demand in America and Europe. Their life in the wilderness was a lonely, arduous and dangerous one. Their enemies included Indians, wild beasts and ruthless rivals. In their constant search for new trapping grounds, they became the first explorers of the uncharted regions and took a great part in the opening of the West. They called themselves 'hunters' or 'mountaineers'. We know them as the Mountain Men. The real life fur trapper was a professional working under the most extreme conditions. His clothing and accoutrements were the tools of his survival in the hostile environment. and were chosen above all fortheir practabilityand usefulness. While afew objects reflect certain Indian influence, the style was definitively European without the fancy beadwork and bear claw necklaces so often found in the romanticised interpretations of Frederick Remington and later artists.
