The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger
As a fur trapper, legendary mountain man Jim Bridger explored the entire distant West and survived countless hair-raising adventures. Now, he's a respected trail guide and army scout who knows every river, mountain, and trail of the frontier. As a new generation of settlers, soldiers, and speculators crowd the Bozeman Trail, Bridger's hard-won wisdom is more valuable than ever, even if his famous tall tales sound more like fiction than fact. But the West is still a perilous place, and with danger just around every bend, the greenhorns heading west quickly realize they need Bridger's guidance for much more than the trail.

Jim Bridger encounters a young Wyatt Earp working in a railroad gang and participating in bareknuckle fights to earn money. When the impetuous Earp sets out to kill a man who cheats him in a fight, Bridger intervenes to stall Earp with one his famous tall tales. As the story goes, Bridger is leading a trapping expedition when he discovers that his second-in-command, Bob Bullock, has crossed the line from maintaining camp discipline to outright brutality. One day, Bullock beats a man for stealing food, leading to a violent confrontation in which the thief is killed. Though he believes his actions are justified, Bullock is wracked with guilt when he learns that the thief had been stealing the food for a pregnant wife hiding outside the camp. Moved by the tale, Earp realizes that having the right to seek revenge doesn't mean it's always the right thing to do.
