Based on their living in and their knowledge of the territory, Mountain Men made a good living from trapping and serving as scouts and guides. With their experience, Mountain Men were the best people to lead wagon trains. The people on the wagon trains, were mainly inexperienced farmers and immigrants who needed guides who not only had experience with the area, but knew the people and any possible hazards as well.
