"The Songs of Three Friends" is a resounding tribute to the intrepid explorers and pile men who braved the traditional western wilderness in the first ages of the 19th hundred years. In 1822, 100 men of the Ashley Henry strap kept St. Louis bound for the beaver-rich rivers and streams of the great Northwest. With the trappers and voyageurs ascending the Missouri River, and the unlikely heroes of this story were three great friends, Mike Fink, Will Carpenter, and Frank Talbeau. This epic poem chronicles the storyplot of the trials and tribulations of the three friends during the torturous journey. Through the winter on the Musselshell River, the love and scorn of a beautiful Indian maiden drives an insurmountable wedge between the three friends and minds them hurtling to a great tragedy of doom. America's primary epic poet John G. Neihardt says of the ordeal of the previous frontier and how stalwart individuals could end up being more than a match for this. Luminous and rousing, "The Songs of Three Friends" can be an essential story and was later included as one of the five epic poems in Neihardt's masterpiece, A Cycle of the West.
