Mountain men were adventurous fur trappers and explorers who roamed the American West during the early 19th century, particularly between the 1820s and 1840s. They played a crucial role in the fur trade, often living off the land and forging relationships with Native American tribes. Known for their rugged individualism and survival skills, mountain men contributed to the westward expansion by mapping territories and paving the way for settlers and explorers. Their legacy is often romanticized in American folklore and literature.
