A mountain man is a guy who lived in the mountains and hunted and trapped furs. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the effects were the Native Americans let the mountain men stay in the mountains and trap furs but after a while the Native Americans got pissed with the whites because of the amount of trapping they were doing.
