Product Description

"Through the hazy smoke of campfires one sees a primitive campsite, replete with figures dressed in clothing styles dating back 150 to 200 years. Is it a dream? Have we entered a time warp? Neither-people are simply enjoying themselves at a modern rendezvous. For these participants, or visitors who happen by, the clock has been turned back to the early 1800s." (From the Foreword by Ray Glazner) Each year, more than 80,000 individuals, from all over the world, participate in reenactments of the 19th century's Rocky Mountain Rendezvous. Kurt Rhody's magnificent photographs of these dedicated participants, combined with his insightful text, brilliantly capture the mood and spirit of one of the most colorful events, and periods, in American history-the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade Era.
