The Awesome Story of Jim Beckwourth by Tom DeMund.
This is one of the all-time best books for middle school/junior high/senior high school kids. "It is a clearly written narrative, both richly illustrated and conversational in tone that has given full measure to the life of Jim Beckwourth, who was more than a mountain man, but not less than a myth."
Hard-back with a fully-illustrated dust jacket, 154 pages.
