Terry Grosz returns to the unexplored and many times dangerous early American West in his sixth mountain man novel, The Adventurous Life of Tom "Iron Hand" Warren, Mountain Man.

Tom Warren, a giant of a man in stature and physical strength, experiencing a deadly tragedy, turns to his new life as a mountain man in the largely unexplored mountain west, facing its many dangers in an attempt to forget his earlier life. Tom soon discovers new friendships among his kind at historic Fort Union, matched only by subsequent dangers and challenges from grizzly bears, renegade fur trappers, an Indian out to kill him and the rescue of an Indian maiden in distress which gains him more deadly enemies. He achieved the name of "Iron Hand" because of his immense strength in battle and is so honored by the fierce Blackfeet Nation as a sign of respect and in that new life, gains a son and ends his adventures with a violent surprise that will eventually leave his readers with a smile as they too find themselves "chasing the winds of destiny"...

Terry Grosz was a Conservation Law Enforcement Officer for 32 years, initially for the State of California and later with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He has written fourteen memoirs and seven historical novels. His memoir, "Wildlife Wars" was a National Outdoor Book Award winner for the nature and environment category. A number of his memoir stories were broadcast as a docudrama on the Animal Planet series.

Without a doubt, the best Mountain men book I have ever read. And, I have read bunches of them. If you are interested in such stories then this book is for you. Adventures are many and there are numerous hair raising situations that will keep you turning pages. I really hated for this story to end. It is definitely on my read again list. You will not be disappointed.... Read this magnificent work by a great author, Terry Grosz. So Giddy Up

Terry Gosz spins an interesting yarn about early life in the western fur trapping era, his characters are authentic if somewhat larger than life, but, what the hey, that's what makes a book, larger than life heroes. He is somewhat redundant in his story telling but that's OK too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life of a trappers and their challenges facing dangers
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017

I am currently enjoying the story of the early trappers, mountain men. While it is fiction, much of the actual events are described with historical significance. The setting of the traps is vivid as are the descriptions of the Indians good and bad. Survival in those early times are vividly portrayed as are the use of horses and mules and not to be overlooked. Ft McKenzie is accruately portrayed as are the specific supplies provided to the trappers. Iron Hand is of mythical portions but is I would describe as a gentle giant among men. I am sure other trappers faced many of the dangers often paying with their lives. How some survived is believable. The story is exciting, full of suspense, and covers actual territory.

Fun read but got rather perturbed having things gone over and over. I can remember what I just read. Also got pretty sick of the Sixth Sense everything something was about to happen. But did enjoy the storyline.

I really liked the story. The research for the book was great. I learned a lot about Mountain men through reading it. And I have read maybe 25 books in venue. I like the character development. Nice progressions. Only thing that kept it from 5 stars from me was the redundancy. It was logical where he did this, but it still slowed the story done. I like fast reads. I will buy the next in the series.

Once again Terry Grosz has provided a great tale of adventure on the western frontier. This time his saga includes historical facts about the native tribes and their homeland. His descriptions of the trappers meals kept my mouth watering and my stomach growling. I will be looking for more books from Terry Grosz.

This is a great story, written by an obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic author. My one reservation is that it could have been improved by careful editing. The narrative could have been tightened up and some repetitive problems with grammar dealt with

Reviewed in Australia on September 14, 2017

No story line to this tale .... just a rambling account of what the author thought it was like in the early days of mountain men and fur trappers. Silly nicknames of the characters didn't help. And the actions of the heroes in the killing of Indians and rogue trappers belied belief ......Superman couldn't have done much better.
