"Campfire Tales of Jackson Hole" by Various is a collection of historical narratives focused on Jackson Hole that transports readers to the mid-20th century with stories of explorers, early mountain men, and descriptions of the indigenous peoples who called the area home. Through compelling historical tidbits, this anthology exposes the unique culture and pivotal events that molded this famous region of the American West, starting with an introduction that stresses the place's importance as a space of both adventure and possibility. It sheds light on the shift from it being a land of bountiful natural resources inhabited by Native Americans and its transformation to a hub of ranching and fur trading with the arrival of others. The anthology also details the pioneering exploration of the valley through the introduction of central wilderness figures, such as the mountain man and trapper John Colter, with the intent of immersing its audience in the historical depth of Jackson Hole through stories of tenacity and adventure within a rugged wildness.
