Autorenporträt
Rufus B. Sage (1817–1893) was an American author, explorer, and naturalist whose work provides a rich description of the American West during the mid-19th century. His seminal work, 'Rocky Mountain Life,' published in 1846, remains an important contribution to the literature of American frontier life and exploration. Sage's narrative weaves personal experiences with observations of natural history, the daily life of different Native American tribes, and the burgeoning fur trade that characterized the Rocky Mountains during that era. With a keen eye for detail and a scholarly approach to describing the landscape and people, Sage's writing style captures the rugged beauty and complexity of the region. Though not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Sage's contributions to Western literature are valuable for his firsthand accounts and the historical context they provide. His writing is marked by an astute and often adventurous spirit, as he ventured into territories that few Euro-Americans had seen. The insights garnered from his book continue to serve as a critical source for historians, anthropologists, and readers interested in the realities of frontier life. 'Rocky Mountain Life' stands out not only for its anthropological and natural history content but also for its role in shaping perceptions of the American West during a time of significant expansion and change.
