From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Campfire Stories: Close Calls comes a new original audiobook that brings to life the bold, hair-raising, and often tragic adventures of a generation of eighteenth-century frontiersmen: the Long Hunters.

Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.

The feats of these courageous, resilient backwoodsmen forever shaped a national identity centered around individualism, capitalism, freedom, and the need for wild places and wild animals.

I really like all of Rinella's book and this is no different. It gives a new perspective of American History through the stories of Daniel Boone and the Long Hunters.

Great Read!

This legitimately was one of the best things that I have ever listened to. Not coincidentally I love whitetail hunting and history. I really commend Clay and Steve for how they told this story, I believe this is the way history should be taught. I would say anyone could listen to this and find it interesting it's not just for hunters and history buffs. Well done gents!

A fine piece of work
