About this listen

 From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Campfire Stories: Close Calls comes a new original audiobook that brings to life the bold, hair-raising, and often tragic adventures of a generation of eighteenth-century frontiersmen: the Long Hunters.

Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.

The feats of these courageous, resilient backwoodsmen forever shaped a national identity centered around individualism, capitalism, freedom, and the need for wild places and wild animals.

As a non American the expansion into the Americas mid west has always been among the top 5 most fascinating time periods in history to me. To find out alot more about the realities of early hunting/fur trading in the Americas narrated by a man who alongside his company changed this random Aussie blokes entire perspective on the mindset of big game hunting (meat eater S1 and how to become a better father (raising outdoor kids) was a truly enjoyable listen.
