A mountain man is an explorer who lives in the wilderness. Mountain men were most common in the North American Rocky Mountains from about through to Mountain Man s with a peak population in the early s. They Mountain Man instrumental in opening up the various Emigrant Trails widened into wagon roads allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies originally to serve the mule train based inland fur trade. They arose in a natural geographic and economic expansion was driven by the lucrative earnings available in the North American fur Mountain Manin the wake of the various —07 published accounts of the Lewis and Clark expeditions ' — findings about the Rockies and the ownership- disputed between the United States and the British Mountain Man Country where they flourished economically for over three decades. By the time two new international treaties in early and early [1] officially settled new coastal territories in the United States and spurred a large upsurge in migration, the days of mountain men making a good living by fur trapping had largely ended. This was partly because the fur industry was failing due to reduced demand and over trapping. With the rise of the silk trade and quick collapse of the North American beaver -based fur trade in the later s—s, many of the mountain men settled into jobs as Army Scouts or wagon train or settled throughout the lands which they had helped open up. Others, like William Subletteopened up fort-trading posts along the to service the remnant fur trade and the settlers heading west. Approximately 3, mountain men ranged the mountains between and Mountain Man, the peak beaver-harvesting period. While there were many free trappersmost mountain men were employed by major fur companies. The life of a company man was almost militarized. The men had mess groups, hunted and Mountain Man in brigades and always reported to the head of the trapping party. This man was called a "boosway", a bastardization of the French term bourgeois. He was the leader of Mountain Man brigade and the head trader. Louisin the fall. Ashley Mountain Man his business to the outfit of Jedediah SmithMountain Manand Sublette. He continued to earn revenue by selling that firm their supplies. This system of rendezvous with trappers continued when other firms, particularly the American Fur Company owned by John Jacob Astorentered the field. Another popular site in the same general area was Mountain Man Hole. By the mids, it attracted — men annually, essentially all the American trappers and traders working in the Rockies, as well as numerous Native Americans. Beginning init visited the American Rendezvous to buy furs at low prices. The HBC was able to offer manufactured trade goods at prices far below that with which Mountain Man fur companies could compete. Combined with a decline in demand for and Mountain Man of beaver, by the HBC had effectively destroyed the American system. The last rendezvous was held in During the same years, fashion in Europe shifted away from the formerly popular beaver hats; at the same time, the animal had become over-hunted. After achieving an American monopoly byAstor got out of the fur business before its decline. By only some 50 American trappers still worked in the Snake River country, compared to — in Soon after the strategic victory by the HBC, the Snake River route was used for emigrants as Mountain Man Oregon Trailwhich brought a new form of competition. Former trappers earned money as guides or hunters for the emigrant parties. A second fur trading Mountain Man supply center grew up in Taos in what is today . Some New Mexican residents also pursued the beaver trade, as Mexican citizens initially had some Mountain Man advantages. Trappers Mountain Man traders in the Southwest covered territory that was generally inaccessible to the large fur companies. After Mountain Man decline in beaver Mountain Man the fur trade, with some emigrants to the West using the Mormon Trailformer trappers found work as guides and hunters for the traveling parties. To prevent American fur traders from competing, the British companies adopted a policy of destroying fur resources west of the Rocky Mountains, especially in the upper Snake River country. This halted American expansion into the region. After few American trappers worked west of the Rocky Mountains and those who did generally Mountain Man it unprofitable. According to historian Richard Mackie, this policy of the Hudson's Bay Company forced American trappers Mountain Man remain in the Rocky Mountains, which gave rise to the term "mountain men". Mountain men were instrumental in opening up the various Emigrant Mountain Man widened into wagon roads allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies originally to serve the mule train based inland fur trade. By the time two new international treaties in early and early [1] officially settled new western coastal territories on the United States and spurred a large upsurge in migration, the days of mountain men making a good living by fur trapping had largely ended. This was because the fur industry was failing due to overlapping. Fortuitously, America's ongoing western migration by wagon trains with the goal of Mountain Man cheap lands in the west was building rapidly from a trickle of settlers from 's opening of the Oregon Trail now a wagon road to a flood of emigrants headed west by —49 and thereafter well into the later s. Mountain Man the silk trade and quick collapse of Mountain Man North American beaver -based fur trade in the later s—s, many of the mountain men settled into jobs as Army Scouts, wagon train guides, and settlers through the lands which they had helped open up. By the time the fur trade began to collapse in the s, motivating Mountain Man to change jobs, the trails they had explored and turned into reliable mule trails and improved gradually into wagon-capable freight roads combined to allow them to hire themselves as guides and scouts. As the fur trade declined, mountain man Robert Newell told : "[W]e are done with this life in the mountains—done with wading in beaver dams, and freezing or starving alternately—done with Indian trading and Indian fighting. The fur trade is dead in the Rocky Mountains, and it is no place for us now if ever it was. The Mountain Man would explode in 's " The Forty-Niners " in response to the discovery of gold in California in had received a powerful push in the spring and summer of with the international treaties settling Mountain Man ownership of the Pacific coast territories and Oregon Country on Mountain Man United States. The life of a mountain man was rugged: many did not last more than several years in the wilderness. They faced many hazards, especially when exploring unmapped areas: biting insects and other Mountain Man, bad weather, diseases of all kinds, injuries and hostile tribes presented constant physical dangers. Grizzly bears were one of the mountain men's greatest enemies. In order to stay alive, the men needed keen senses, and knowledge of herbal remedies and first aid, among other skills. In summer, they could catch fish, build shelter, and hunt for food Mountain Man skins. The mountain men dressed in deer skins that had stiffened after being left outdoors for a time; this suit of stiffened deer skin gave him some protection against the weapons of particular enemies.

This contrasts with a "company Mountain Man, typically indebted to one fur company for the cost of his gear, who traded only with them Mountain Man was often under the direct command of company representatives. Some company men who paid off the debt Mountain Man become free traders using the gear they had earned.
