Overview
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.
