Summary
John J. Law was a writer of tall tales with an interest in the facts and real life adventures of a rare breed of man, the mountain man. He finds himself in the Shoehorn Saloon, somewhere between Wyoming and nowhere, when he is approached by the one true mountain man he’d heard so many stories about. Francis Santana.
Francis began to ramble long into the night about his exploits as a trapper and explorer. He went into detail about a lot of his adventures, and the exact chronology of the events described herein are probably doubtful, at best. Francis was not very good with dates and the exact times when things happened. What he was good at describing his various adventures in vivid detail. The man had a wonderful knack for telling a story, and it is as he said. There was pride in his voice, and a genuine sparkle in his eye, as he spoke. This was a man who was proud of his achievements, and for good reason. It was because of men like Francis that people were rapidly settling in the West.
