John Colter, the Original Mountain Man

John Colter has been called the original mountain man. He was a hunter for the Lewis & Clark expedition. Later he crossed Yellowstone in winter and was made to run for his life from the Blackfeet.

The story has been told many times in film and around the campfire. However, you’ve never heard nor seen it told like this before: The drama, the thrill of life and death, the imagination of a generation all wrapped up in the masterful storytelling of Ken Sinay and illustrated by the classic western painters of early nineteenth century life… including Alfred Jacob Miller, Carl Bodmer, George Catlin, Charlie Russell and Albert Bierstadt.
