<br/><br/> Love of adventure called the fur trappers into the Rocky Mountain wilderness; ability to beat the Indian at his own game enabled them to take pelts without losing their own scalps  This is Jim Beckwourth, a Mulatto Trader and former slave, who became chief of the Crow Indian nation.  He was a member of General Ashley's first trapping party in the Rockies in 1824.
