This book is a travelog about a three-hundred-mile trip across the Rocky Mountains on horseback with Howard Eaton. It describes many fascinating moments like fishing, cool nights around a campfire, and long days on the trail. The characters of this book are a party of all sorts, from everywhere, of men and women, old and young, experienced folk and novices. The only thing that unites them is a desire to belong to the sportsmen of the road. Being written about 100 years ago, the book is still an interesting read about travel and adventures.
