Shinin' Times!

Temple Buck returns to the Rockies in 1828, rejoins his trapping bunch and resumes the carefree life of the American free trapper where he left off two years earlier. Temple and his comrades explore uncharted new beaver-rich country, gaining new and different experience in a changing and expanding fur trade. Their personal lives change, as well. They take on new responsibilities while enjoying more than ever the happy-go-lucky life of the Rocky Mountain free trapper, its rich flavors much improved now by their wider knowledge, deeper experience, and greater appreciation of everything that living in the American wilderness offers to bold men who possess enough savvy and smarts and courage to survive on Nature's bosom.
