>>I cant remember my Mountain man history but was Jim Bridger the one who escaped from the indians by running the gauntlet naked and then kept running naked for several miles to get away?<<

>You're thinking of a man named John Colter who was with the Lewis and Clark expedition. He was returning from Oregon, got separated from the company and was captured by the Blackfeet who basically gave him a head start and had him run for his life. According to the story, he outran all but one, who charged him with a spear and was defeated in hand to hand combat. This was in 1807. Colter finally showed up in St. Louis in 1810.

I believe your right. Those mountain men were one tough crowd. But then so were the indians too.
