“I thoroughly enjoyed traversing the historical landscapes of America alongside Rinella and Newcomb, gaining a deeper understanding of the passion and grit the settlers needed to survive and thrive. The audiobook is a perfect companion for you on your summer adventures, and the physical copy will make a great gift for all the history and outdoor enthusiasts in your life (Father’s Day is around the corner, and I can’t wait for my dad to open his copy!)”

From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Campfire Stories: Close Calls comes a new original audiobook that brings to life the bold, hair-raising, and often tragic adventures of a generation of eighteenth-century frontiersmen: the Long Hunters.
Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.
The feats of these courageous, resilient backwoodsmen forever shaped a national identity centered around individualism, capitalism, freedom, and the need for wild places and wild animals.
