Barton H. Barbour

I agree with the previous review. Too many mis-pronounced rivers, Indian tribe names and other geographic areas. But still was an enjoyable book.

A very information account of an important figure in the Euro-American exploration of the west by mountain men trapping beavers, prior to wagon trains on the Oregon Trail and gold seekers heading to California. Smith may be more important than well known figures such as Kit Carson and Jim Bridger. The audio book version unfortunately contains many mis-pronounced words, taking away for the enjoyment of the book.
