Bourgeious (isn't it bourgeois?) or does bourgeious refer to something else completely? -- 72.56.124.151 13:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Good Day Fellahs,
Mountain men existed on every continent and in practically every tradition.
"The Man from Snowy River" depicts an example from the Australian tradition of the genuine Australian mountain men.
If I had the time to research this all the world's greatest mountain ranges would reveal a host of mountain men, including the Sierra Nevada in Spain, the Himalayas, the Altai and *everywhere* mountainous on the planet.
If this is a global project provision will need to b[e made to] either generalise this entry or somehow make prov
ision for other entries that do not relate to the Rockies.
Th File:Is is not to lessen the folk that roamed the Rockies, but rather to remind everyone that they had kindred spirits elsewhere on this planet.
Just thought I'd make an entry to this effect.

Amazon doesn't show a listing for this reference provided in the article. Was this self-published? Any ISBN?

I have worked the article over quite a bit. Comments welcome. As to future edits, as pointed out above, this material is very US focused. Obviously, the Hudson Bay Company and their small but valiant Canadian competitors should be mentioned here. Many French-Canadian trappers worked intimately with the Americans, and their companies, and in some cases moved into and worked in Mexico Territory/New Mexico and California. Some became Mexican citizens, some American citizens, some eventually returned to Canadian territory. However, I don't believe the term as generally used really includes explorers and adventurers in other areas of the world, such as Australia.
Relationships with Indian tribes and individuals, friendly and hostile, have not been addressed here either. These were the people our mountain men worked with everyday, and often intermarried. They had a great influence on their lifestyle and outlook. In addition, some mountain men were black, Indian, or of mixed breed. They should be briefly mentioned as well.
Anyone have any other ideas for expanding the article? Best wishes. WBardwin 05:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The following was recently submitted, but Google provides no hits at all on this person. A source would be helpful. 65.54.98.29 ( talk) 23:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Check with various Parks Services. This sounds a lot like the kind of canned info you see on Highway "historic" markers. Just a thought. BTW, in the history section of the article someone had added the sentence, "Did you know Jim Bridger was a very rich man?" Fascinating. But not sourced, and not especially relevant where it was placed, so I deleted it. Theonemacduff ( talk) 21:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
The article on Free trappers is one paragraph that basically describes a subtype of Mountain Man. Since I don't see how Free trappers could possibly be expanded without duplicating information from this article, I suggest we simply merge the entire paragraph into this article, as a subsection under "Mode of Living". Anyone object? -- Ig8887 ( talk) 08:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Why is there a discussion of the Alamo? It doesn't seem at all relevant. The only connection I can see is that the battle occurred during the time when the rendezvous happened. Also, the paragraph needs some serious clean-up. 69.150.163.1 ( talk) 19:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi - Just wondering if there should be references to the old TV series "Grizzly Adams". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.54.92.72 ( talk) 16:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
The Kinman article makes no mention of Kinman as a "trapper", although I assume he killed the bears to sell their skins. Also, he followed a very different career path from most of the trappers generally included as Mountain men. Is he the best example to illustrate the topic? I will not remove the pic for now.

Would there be enough material for a section on modern lifestyles in the "bush"? Alaska and Canada would have modern mountain men as well as some in the lower 48. Sources for info? Comments? WBardwin ( talk) 19:58, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Why does " Mountain men" redirect to Mountain Men (2012 TV series) instead of " Mountain man"? TuckerResearch ( talk) 22:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
This is (rightly) tagged for having too long of a lead. Also the lead has material which is not in the article. I'll be working to fix. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 19:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

The second last sentence within the Preface of this article starts with: "With the rise of the silk trade …", while 'silk trade' is linked to the article descibing the traditional eurasian Silk Road.
How did that show up? Furthermore I've never heard of an rising silk trade through western mountainous regions of the U.S., but maybe someone - the author of that entry? - knows better. In that case it should at least linked to further information or if such an article doesn't exist (of which i'm pretty sure ;) ) please add some short explanation.
Hopefully someone who knows better than I will read this and correct this please.
At least the link to the traditional Silk Road I will remove immediately, for there isn't any recognizable connection between both articles.
