Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837, Juniper Collins and her sisters are shocked by their father's deathbed request for them to return a special set of beads to a Piegan Blackfoot woman he credits with saving his life during his travels West. Together, the sisters set out for the trapper rendezvous to find the woman, but their mission turns more daunting when they come upon the mass of men and lodges spread out in the Green River Valley. Riley Turner came West to find peace and quiet and live off the land, but when four unprotected women arrive at the rendezvous, he feels compelled to help them and is more fascinated by Juniper than any other woman he's known. As their search brings only empty leads and dead ends, the sisters must decide whether to return East or stay in the mountains to continue looking--and that's if the mystery woman is even still alive. Is the risk to honor their father's last request worth the danger they find at every turn? "What an adventure! Rocky Mountain Rendezvous brought the wilds of the Wyoming area and Juniper's unique story to life."--KIMBERLEY WOODHOUSE, Carol Award-winning and bestselling author "Brimming with vivid imagery, historical details, and a compelling storyline, this is a book Misty's readers will absolutely adore."--JEN TURANO, USA Today bestselling author

This book follows young Jemmey Fletcher as he decides to leave his Missouri homestead, and strike out for the mountains. Along the way he meets a colorful mountain man named Laramie, who breaks the greenhorn in. As Jemmey makes his way to a mountain man rendezvous, he'll have to battle hunger, thunderstorms, attacking Indians, and most often himself to find out if he has what it takes to be a Rocky Mountain trapper. The first of a series, Jemmey Fletcher books were written to take students on an adventure through the American frontier in a historically accurate way. Each book was written to tell a particular story of the West, and highlight a specific event, or time period of that history. Written for educational purposes by award winning teacher Cody Assmann, each chapter has reflection questions to reinforce the factual information contained in the chapter. Many chapters also end with extension research links, to allow students the opportunity to continue learning about factual events or people portrayed in this book of historical fiction. Finally, nearly all the chapters end with an extension activity that students can complete at home. These activities have been developed to enhance student's grasp of history, by actually participating in historical skills. Not only will the reader get to learn about history in a fun and entertaining way, but they will also get the opportunity to live out scenes from the book.
