Within the purchase of Louisiana Territory by the United States in 1803, the vast, virgin territory of the upper Missouri River offered untold riches to enterprising and bold men. Streams choked with beaver attracted men from all walks of life, some drawn by the lust for wealth, some for the adventure and others to escape their past. For Benjamin Voss, it started as a quest for retribution and ended offering him a new way of life. Amidst the conflict between rival fur companies, and deadly attacks by hostile Indians, Ben finds a place for himself among the mountain men and Indians of the Stoney Mountains. The Stoney Mountains is a historical-fiction, set during the opening of the American fur trade in the Rocky (Stoney) Mountains of the west in what is now Montana. The saga chronicles the first years after the Louisiana Purchase, and the advance of the American mountain men into the lands of the Crow and Blackfoot Indians, pitting the trappers against not only hostile Indians but rival fur companies out of Canada.
