Dimensions: 4″ X 6″ America’s well-known, beloved writers and other characters sharing their stories. With all the vivid details that make the artist’s paintings so wonderful, we find writers such as Mark Twain to Willa Cather. One of these tellers of tales was Jim Baker, who is featured enthralling the group with a story. In 1839, he left the civilized world to become a mountain man in the vast and cruel American West. Baker survived to live long enough to see the city of Denver emerge where he and the Arapho and Cheyenne had once roamed. In 1839, Jim Baker left the civilized world to become a mountain man in the vast and cruel American West.
