SONS OF A TRACKLESS FOREST:

[drax05]

Sons of a Trackless Forest: The Cumberland Long Hunters of the Eighteenth Century, by Mark A. Baker. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in American Studies. Utah State University, Logan Utah, 1992.
A copy was sent to me by a friend doing research on over-mountain men for a book he was writing. Considers it the top book on its subject. Anyhow, originally when I looked it up on-line, the book sells for $450-600 bucks! Just a tad out of my means, anyhow a copy was sent to me later of the original thesis downloaded from someplace on line. If you are serious about this period, it's a "must". Trust me.

Just did a search. $450 lowest price, and one guy on ebay wants $800. Read a review and it looks like excellent reading of the period. Keep my eyes out for a lower price.
