A party of hunters sets out from St. Louis, the Mound City, for the prairies of the far West. Each night around the fire someone tells a tale: a Frenchman’s adventure in the swamps, passenger pigeons darkening the sky, a hunt with a howitzer, cougars, bears and wolves, and the exploits of the veteran trapper Old Ike.
