Mountain Man vs. Mountain Man : Kit Carson's Rendezvous With Destiny

In the summer of 1835, the annual Rocky Mountain Rendezvous convenes in what the Green River Valley of what is today the state of Wyoming. Trappers, tribes and traders from all over the territory have gathered to enjoy a rare break from the toil and turmoil of life on the frontier. Furs are traded, games are played, and whiskey is consumed in copious quantities.

While most at the rendezvous enjoy the festivities peaceably, one trapper, a French-Canadian named Joseph Choinard has become belligerently intoxicated and increasingly combative.
Finally, word gets to legendary mountain man Kit Carson that his wife, a beautiful Arapahoe woman named Singing Grass, has been repeatedly insulted by the hulking Choinard.

Carson, enraged, challenges Choinard to a one-on-one duel, here in the middle of the rendezvous. This is almost unheard of in the history of the Old West, and what happens next, is the stuff of legends…
