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.

You can tell how passionate Steven and Clay are about there hunting history. As an Irish man who has very little hunting history I feel like I have been let in a back door to an amazing culture. Thanks for the knowledge and the effort from you both.

The honest energy from both Steve and Clay

Don’t let the complaining in reviews put you off, this is Rinella at his best. Clay is a welcome addition and both do a great job at telling the story of the original Mountain Men. If you liked campfire stories, you’ll love this one too.

Classic Rinella, classic storytelling

As an Englishman, our basic education for the history of the United States and wildlife is next to nothing.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this audio book. The narration was close to perfection in my opinion, I especially enjoyed the back and forth between the two narrators, dipping in and out.

You can be confident I will purchase any and all future projects in the same vein as this one.

Hopefully the first of many.
