The mountain men were the suppliers to the beaver fur hat industry during the early 1800's. They went into the wilderness to trap and skin beavers and sell the pelts at the yearly rendevous.
The mountain men moved west during the early 19th century, primarily in the early 1800s. They were explorers and fur trappers who ventured into the Rocky Mountains and other western regions in pursuit of beavers and other valuable pelts.
Mountain Men were people who spent most of their time living in the Rocky Mountains and which later became known as mountain men. They used to hunt beavers for food and their fur. Over time, the mountain could no longer make a living by trapping because most of the beaver were killed. Many moved to Oregon and settled on farms. :) Hope it all helped!!Your Welcome

NOT MINERS but fur traders. trappers like jeremiah johnson, jedediah smith and kit carson. they hunted beavers for their fur thanks to a beaver hat fashion trend in Europe.
A little history: Mountain men were very successful in trapping, and almost made beavers extinct until beaver hats were not popular any longer. Later on, since the mountain men knew the land very well, they gave tours around the West, which is one of the reasons why people moved to the west.
