Mountain Men came to exist throughout the 1800’s, but were at their peak between 1830 to 1850 mainly because of the Fur Trade. There was never a large number of mountain men to exist. Who can blame them? Living this sort of lifestyle was never easy; even for those who have acquired the knowledge needed to survive. They faced many obstacles while traveling from place to place such as extreme temperatures, starvation, and attacks from Indians and Grizzly Bears. They played a large role in the fur…

collided. This collision created another mountain range located in the same place where the Grenville Mountains and Taconic Mountains were formed.

The Great Smoky Mountains at its highest areas is roughly about 6000 feet above sea level (Hadley 1). These…

As a result, mountain people are deprived of opportunities available to lowland people and are subject to difficult challenges not seen in non-mountainous regions. Mountain groups are faced with the challenge of growing crops under difficult weather and soil conditions. They lack adequate supply lines to replenish their scarce resources. They are not able to avail themselves of…

The Mountain Gorilla, with the scientific name of gorilla beringei beringei, is a massive mammal with a short, thick trunk and broad…
