The choice of silence is an arrogant refusal to accept the world as it is.
The Mountain Man, or fur trapper, roamed the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 to the early 1840s. Jim Bridger, Jedediah Smith, Jim Clyman and Edward Rose are names that, to this day, are still associated with this tough, romantic era in history.
The Mountain Man was usually a loner, sometimes married to an Indian "squaw". They were a hardy, individualistic lot, and many a myth and folklore has sprung up around this period.
The heyday of the Mountain Man actually only lasted to about 1846. These were the days when Canadian fur traders "ruled with bullets and whiskey". Their Rocky Mountain Empire stretched from California to British Columbia and Alberta. They would trap beaver or barter with the Indians and then sell the pelts to the highest bidder. They travelled by horse and by foot, often using snowshoes in the winter.
