When Jim Bridger was a young man, the entire western half of what's now the United States was – for lack of a better term – a wilderness. A land teeming with bison and ruled by Indigenous hunter-gatherer societies. Untamed. Untouched. And unsullied.
Bridger would join the ranks of Ashley’s One Hundred while still a teenager and - alongside other future legends like Hugh Glass, Jedediah Smith, and James Beckwourth - head up the Missouri River in search of beaver. From present-day northern Montana all the way down to the Gulf of California, from the Mississippi on west to the Pacific Ocean, Bridger saw it all; discovering and blazing trails that still bear his name to this day while at the same time facing off with some of the deadliest warriors who ever strung a bow. #wildwest #history #western
