A brand new Mountain Man sequel from John Sammon!
It is 1830. American officials want to acquire Oregon Country (Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington State), to become a part of the United States. They want to extend America from the Atlantic to the Pacific, called “Manifest Destiny.”
But British officials want to annex Oregon Territory for England.
Operatives of the American Fur Company, an American-owned cartel of beaver pelt trappers in Oregon Country, are suspicious that trappers of the British-owned (Canadian) Hudson’s Bay Company are deliberately over-killing beavers, hoping American trappers will stop coming into the area---allowing the English to take over the territory.
To prevent this, American officials send an unscrupulous man, Milam Wilson, to lead an expedition of roughneck trappers to deliberatively provoke an incident between American and British trappers that will start a war---a war the U.S. will win---so Americans can take Oregon Country.
Famed mountain man Zeb Simms is hired to guide the expedition, but unsuspecting of Milam’s true motives, hopes for a peaceful solution.
What follows is an armed clash between British and American rival beaver trappers in a rugged area along what is today the Snake River. Starvation follows in a howling wilderness, a struggle for survival of the most brutal kind.
