Savage Scene Life and Times of Jim Kirker

Among the great mountain men, James Kirker ranks with Kit Carson, James Ohio Pattie, Jim Bridger and Bill Williams, but only Kirker ever had the Mexican government offer $10,000 for his head. William McGraw's book is the biography of James Kirker, a frontiersman who trapped with Jedediah Smith, traveled the Santa Fe Trail, scouted for Colonel Doniphan and adventured up the Missouri and down the Gila.
