About this ebook

Colter’s West Wind tells the story of John Colter who was a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and an explorer and fur trapper in the Rocky Mountains. Colter’s humble beginnings on the Kentucky frontier were followed by years of exploring the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and bringing commerce into the area. Colter found himself in the cross currents of British and American interests and the geopolitical struggles of the indigenous people who inhabited the area. While much mystery still surrounds much of Colter’s life, Colter’s West Wind builds a narrative on what is known about him and how a humble Kentuckian became part of history.

Author

Christopher B. Hodges

Christopher B. Hodges has a great curiosity regarding how the common person becomes part of history, seeks and receives little recognition, but finds the great satisfaction of serving a cause greater than self. A tireless researcher, Hodges compiles an extensive library on his subjects, travels the trails taken by his subjects and enjoys meeting other researchers who share his passion for these little-known people. Earning a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, traveling extensively for the U.S government and his business prepared Hodges for building the economic, political and cultural settings of his books. Positions in business leadership afforded him opportunities to observe and mentor those seeking to succeed and serve and consider how differently we all react to strife, loss and triumph. Christopher’s first book was Colter’s West Wind.
