About this listen

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.

Great storytelling

Very well researched and an enjoyable experience. Rinella and Newcomb fill in a lot of historical gaps in this book and it’s an excellent compendium to the period if the late 18th century

Amazing

All around amazing great story I wish it was 10 hours longer that’s my only complaint I wish there was more we knew about. But we just don’t. It’s the little detail I wish we had an amazing story

Fun, exciting and informative

As someone from the panhandle of Idaho it’s a mystical story hearing how settlers began this country and the carnage of death and life they had to endure. Really makes me curious about the stories tied to mining and the history of this area.
