Grizzly Killer: The Making of a Mountain Man

The portrayal of frontier life feels so vivid—I'm curious whether this was based on personal research, history, or the author's imagination.

The tension during those encounters was intense, but I wonder if the author intentionally kept the threat ambiguous to build suspense.

The story moves quickly during the action but also gives moments for reflection. I'm curious whether this pacing was planned or evolved during writing.
