I ordered a copy of this DVD (AAE-71149) several years back, my version is from 1999. The show is mostly in color with some black and white, several historians give dialogue throughout the program with most of the notable mountain men discussed.....Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, Joseph Walker, John Colter, Kit Carson, Peg Leg Smith, Liver Eat'n Johnston, William Ashley, Broken Hand Fitzpatrick, and Jedediah Smith, among others, are portrayed.
The basis of the History Channel program is the book A LIFE WILD AND PERILOUS by noted author Robert M. Utley, with Mr. Utley giving dialogue as the program moves through its 100 minutes or so. A digital DVD of remarkable color, the times of the mountain men from 1807 through the late 1830s is offered. One of the longer and more interesting segments of the program concern the annual rendezvous, a two-week coming together of these men during summer months preceeding the coming fall trapping season.
For anyone having interest in the American West of the mountain man era, this DVD is almost something not to be done without. I've been interested in this topic most of my life, and offer an excellent rating for its work. Even the most seasoned and knowledgeable person will experience the wonderful high country scenery that accompanies the DVD.
Semper Fi.
