Mountain Man Zeb Simms - Fight at Hell's Kettle: A Delightful Western Exploit
Zeb Simms was a mountain man, trapper and a scout. Hired first by a missionary to guide himself and his wife into a land of Indians they intended to convert, Simms found himself hired on as a guide to an eastern trader named Jake Styles. Styles had heard a story of an untamed wilderness with riches in abundance and beaver with pelts as white as snow. Styles was intent on reaching this valley deep within what was known as the Unorganized Territory. Simms, however, knew it to be called Colter’s Hell.
Led by Simms, Styles and his small company of men, headed for unknown territory with one thing on their minds, getting rich. A Blackfoot chief named Lame Bull, however, had other plans for the group. His plans included the deaths of them all. Both Styles and Simms managed to escape Lame Bull not once, but twice, and Zeb Simms found that his most dangerous adversary all along was the man who had hired him as a guide, Jake Styles.
