Jim Baker: A Born Leader
Sun, Mar 24, 2024
During the waning days of the fur trade, greenhorn Jim Baker joins legendary frontiersman Jim Bridger on an expedition to the far west. The young, red-headed adventurer falls in love with the frontier and the free lifestyle of a trapper, and he quickly develops a reputation as a skilled marksman and mountain man. But trouble is brewing in the mountains and the prairies. Incensed by the encroachment of white pioneers, the Sioux, Arapaho, and Cheyenne begin to wage war against trappers and their Shoshone allies. When Bridger learns that his partner Henry Fraeb might be in danger, he sends Baker to find him. Unable to retreat, Fraeb and Baker build a rudimentary fortification and prepare to defend the small party of trappers against hundreds of warriors. Before the battle is over, Baker is thrust into a leadership role that will determine the fate of the men.

Elkhorn
Reeling from the deaths of his wife and mother, 25-year-old Theodore Roosevelt decides his place isn't among the social elite of New York, but on America's frontier. He abandons his political aspirations and heads for the lawless Dakota Badlands, where he plans to become a cattle rancher. While still experiencing overwhelming grief and wrestling with debilitating asthma, Roosevelt draws on the guidance of his lumberjack mentor from Maine, Bill Sewall, and his cowboy partner, William Merrifield. As they work to establish the sprawling Elkhorn Ranch, it's Roosevelt's youth and physical frailty that make them an easy target for local gunslingers, land speculators, and cattle rustlers. In his first few months in the West, Roosevelt must disarm a barroom bully, face down hired guns, track down horse thieves, and kill a grizzly bear. Along the way, he forms lifelong friendships and begins to remake himself into the man who will forever be identified as The Cowboy President.
