The Saga of the Mountain Saga is a four-book series set during the fur trade era of the American Rockies. The Morning River (1996) and Coyote Summer (1997) established the series, with White Mist Dog and A Panther’s Scream following in 2023.
Gear draws on the historical record of the fur trade to create stories about the trappers, traders, and Native peoples whose lives intersected in the mountain West. The wilderness setting and period detail reflect his deep knowledge of Western American history and landscapes.
