Volume II: Free Men, 1824-1826 chronicles the exploits of Temple Buck and his rowdy trapper companions in the American Rocky Mountain fur trade from 1824-1826. In this, the second volume of the Temple Buck Quartet, they push ever farther west in their quest for beaver pelts, exploring new country and encountering fresh adventures, some of them welcome, others not at all. This well-researched tale, told in Temple's own words, blends historical and fictional characters against a colorful backdrop of actual events,pungently flavored with gory battles with hostile Indians, homespun humor, and earthy romance, culminating in Temple's disappointing return to his Ohio birthplace.The TEMPLE BUCK QUARTETA Rocky Mountain OdysseyVolume 1: Backbone of the World (1822-1824)Volume 2: Free Men (1824-1826)Volume 3: Shinin' Times! (1828-1833)Volume 4: Glory Days Gone Under (1833-1837)
