Title: The mountain men
Description: In America 'The American Mountain Men' are regarded as the greatest and most daring explorers and pioneers of the 19th century. Today, a group of men are committed to preserving the traditions and customs of these American mountain men. They make life in the mountains their own by following the trails of their predecessors, hunting and surviving in the wild. Photographer Jeroen Nieuwhuis has documented this extraordinary group for four years. From the extremely cold winters in the north of America through to the extreme heat and drought in Tennessee. The result is a book of more than 200 pages, including over 150 beautiful photographs, historical narratives, and captions.
