Were the mountain men?

Mountain men were trappers and explorers who roamed the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 to the early 1840s. Although primarily of Canadian or American origin, mountain men were of many ethnic, social and religious backgrounds. These men were primarily motivated by profit, trapping beaver and selling the skins, although some were more interested in exploring the West. An approximate 3,000 men ranged the mountains in the window between 1820 and 1840, the peak beaver harvesting period. While there were many free trappers, most mountain men were employed by fur companies. The life of a company man was almost militarized. The men had mess groups, hunted and trapped in brigades and always reported to the head of the trapping party. NOVANET-young american trappers and traiders on the rocky mountain

What pictures can you draw on a title page about Canadian history?

Try a beaver and a canoe, maybe a beaver paddling a canoe. If you wanted it to be more accurate you could have a stack of beaver skins in York Boat with several Scots rowing. Or a couple of trees on the bank of a river will do.
