Mountain Man

Mountain Man by Vardis Fisher is a classic frontier novel first published in this Pocket Books edition in August 1967. Known as the book that inspired the film Jeremiah Johnson starring Robert Redford, this rugged western tells a powerful story of survival, wilderness, isolation, and life beyond the boundaries of settled society.

Set in the harsh mountain country of the American West, Mountain Man captures the danger and independence of the trapper’s life, where endurance, instinct, and grit are essential. Fisher’s writing brings the frontier to life through its wild landscapes, brutal challenges, and complex portrait of a man shaped by solitude and violence.

A strong choice for fans of western fiction, mountain man stories, wilderness survival novels, movie tie-in books, and collectible vintage paperbacks connected to classic American cinema.
