Lige Mounts: Free Trapper

Frank Bird Linderman (1869 –1938) was a Montana writer, politician, Native American ally and ethnographer. Written from the retrospect of a man who lived in the great Northwest, and studied Indian life, for many years who was himself a trapper. Mr. Linderman gives us in "Lige Mounts." a fine, gripping story of frontier days. The setting is in the period when men were men and engaged in the fur trade on the upper Missouri River; when an extra blanket or fryingpan found in one's pack instantly made him lose cast. Aside from the adventures of Lige the story has a distinct historical value, which will appeal to the older readers. There is a clean, wholesome love theme entwined in the background of rugged beauty, which gives an irresistible charm to the book. Action characterizes the plot from the moment Lige Mounts leaves the home of the aunt and uncle, who brought him up until the romantic end when an Indian maiden is claimed as his bride.
