Museum Logo Baseball Hat
Embroidered baseball hat with the Museum of the Mountain Man Logo.
Colors available – Brown, Navy Blue, Khaki, Olive, and Ivory. Color shades may vary from what is pictured,
Adjustable and Velcro backing.
Logo Meaning:
The circular Beaver Plew represents the treasure that attracted the mountain men to the wilderness. After skinning the beaver, the pelt was stretched on a willow frame to cure prior to shipping.
The trap was the mountain man’s principal tool. He generally carried 6 of them weighing 5-6 ponds each.
The emigrant grave marker and the spur represent some of the same forces that eventually spelled the end of the fur trade era — the beginning of the westward migration and the coming of the ranchers that eventually tamed the wilderness.
The arrow symbolizes the close connection between the native tribes of the Rocky Mountains and the mountain men — both as allies and enemies.
The mountain man’s rifle was used for hunting game as well as for protection. Flintlock and percussion style were used with Henry or Hawken rifles being common.

The back reads as follows:
Freedom, Independence, Adventure
Seeking beaver pelts for high society felt hats, young men ventured to the unexplored Rocky Mountains in the early 1800’s. These mountain men were the first non-natives to live year round in the mountains, ultimately opening the West for expansion of the United States. Blending life styles of nomadic Plains Indians and Euroamerican society, a unique iconic character evolved and has been legendary ever since.
The Museum of the Mountain Man preserves and interprets the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade Era by housing exhibits for all ages on the mountain men, fur trade, early western exploration, Plains Indians, and the settlement of Western Wyoming.
Bookmark #2 – Features a mountain scene with the words – Mountain Men – The Original Trailblazers & Adventurers. Shades of blue, black and white.
The back reads as follows:
Who were the mountain men? These were free, independent and hardy trappers of the Rocky Mountains in the early 1800’s, known for their wild adventures. Their exploration and knowledge of the land helped pave the way for later westward expansion and settlement.
Today modern day explorers and adventurers travel these same mountains in search of their own stories and histories to share.
