Unlike other legends of the era like Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Kit Carson, Colter has remained elusive because he left not a single letter, diary, or reminiscence. Gathering the available evidence and guiding readers through a labyrinth of hearsay, rumor, and myth, two Colter experts for the first time tell the whole story of Colter and his legend. 606 $aExplorers$zWest (U.S.)$vBiography 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zWest (U.S.) 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xDiscovery and exploration 615 0$aExplorers 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 676 $a910.92 676 $aB 700 $aAnglin$b Ron$01615573 702 $aMorris$b Larry E.$f1951- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825055603321 996 $aThe mystery of John Colter$93945832 997 $aUNINA
