Bears, Beets, and Battlestar Galactica!!! These arealmost the topics we covered in Part 1 of our Jim Bridger Series. Replaces Beets with Beavers and Battlestar Galactica with Star Trek and you have our show.

The story of the American Frontier continues as we dive deeper into the life of famed mountain man, Jim Bridger!!! The Pony Express, The California Gold Rush, Yellowstone National Park, and WAR are on the Agenda. Red Cloud and Crazy Horse will make star appearances, and I urge you to pay careful attention to the politics involved in these stories.

Looks like the wagon train is moving, so climb aboard your stage coach and let's hit the trail again!!!
