The American Mountain Men
I have documented this extraordinary group for the past four years. From the extremely cold winters in the north of America through to the extreme heat and drought in Tennessee. The result will be a book of more than 200 pages, including over 150 high-quality images, historical narratives, and captions.

entry description
Even in the modern world of today, some people feel more at home in the mountains than in society. They want to go horseback riding, hunting and survive in the wild. These men call themselves “The Mountain Men”. They try to live exactly as the original Mountain Men did between 1804 and 1840.I have documented this extraordinary group for the past four years.
