James Bridger — more commonly known as Jim Bridger afterwards “Old Gabe” — was an American trapper, fur trader, and wilderness guide who played a significant role in the exploration and development of the American West in the 19th century. Bridger was renowned for his skill and success as a trapper and his ability to guide expeditions throughout America’s western frontier.

During his years on the frontier, Bridger was known for his ability to talk his way out of trouble and his friendly relations with Native Americans. He was described as tall and muscular by his contemporaries and was considered a shrewd, honest, and brave man. Although he had a reputation for being an exceptional mountain guide he was also known as an entertaining man who liked to laugh and tell “tall tales” about his adventures. Bridger’s stories painted a vivid picture of the West and inspired thousands of people to explore and migrate to the region.

(American Narratives Series)

The American bison, or buffalo, is a majestic icon of North America. Associated with the wild West, Native Americans, and “Buffalo” Bill Cody, the bison’s story is a dramatic tale of survival.
After the Civil war, white settlers began to push westward - and at that time vast herds of buffalo roamed freely across the Great Plains of North America. The buffalo provided an invaluable source of food and clothing, mainly in hides and other materials for settlers and army posts scattered towards the Pacific. The big push west had begun, and it attracted men like Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, and William F. Cody. These men were buffalo hunters, and were among hundreds of men trying to capitalize on the 10’s of millions of buffalo, in the untamed west. Sadly, the buffalo were hunted to near extinction, which is why conservation is so vital to the preservation of our precious wildlife, land and future.
