An authenic and richly illustrated account of Jackson Hole's earliest settlers and cast of Old West characters: Native Americans, mountain men, government explorers, miners, outlaws, cavalry, posses, squatters, game poachers, and eccentric frontier figures. The Hole's "bachelor settlers" are profiled and pictured, and the valley's infamous frontier episodes recounted. Exploitation of abundant wildlife played a crucial role in settlement. The tools of the early-day settlers were rifles, traps, and poison. The plow, sun bonnets, and the family cow followed much later; as did also, recognition for conservation. What became of John Carnes and John Holland, credited with being the valley's "first Settlers," after they proved up, sold their hjomesteads, and moved on, is a vital part of the story, too.

The magnificent valley of Jackson Hole at the base of the soaring Teton Range has long been a stage on which a remarkable series of events has been acted out. From the creation of the Tetons, to the first humans, to the Native American tribes to the journey of John Colber, who back in 1807 is said to have been the first white man to have found his way through the wildnerness and into Jackson Hole. A remarkable cast of characters including mountain men, trappers, former slaves, a Mormon boy, an inter-racial marriage, and others fill these pages of pioneers.
