About this listen
ONE MAN AGAINST THE RUTHLESS POWER OF THE SANTA FE TRADE EMPIRE
The profit motive destroyed the weak and emboldened the strong, and pitted the ruthless power of the big merchants against the wildness and cunning of the mountain men.
The long hand of Eduardo Duval reached from St. Louis to Santa Fe. Duval was a big man; he didn't have to soil his own hands with his dirty work. But he took pleasure in picturing the results.
Especially when he thought of Jim King—full of liquor, stumbling to his room behind his store. Too full of liquor to smell the smoke, helped by lamp oil, curling slowly around $38,000 in fur pelts....
When King came to—if he did—it would be too late. Duval would have one less competitor.
But for all their cleverness, Duval & Co. didn't know the buckskin men. They underestimated Jim King....

The multi-dimensional character development by Tom W. Blackburn masterfully brings each player to life. The rich mixture of individuals reveals how they stand in the melting pot of their choices, being on the right or wrong side of honor. The action and snappy dialogue bring to the forefront the ever-present brutality and corruption founded on greed between men and women.
The characters of Edouard Duval and Jim King serve as stark contrasts to one another, embodying the conflict between power and resilience. Duval, a formidable and ruthless figure in the fur trade, wields his influence through intimidation and underhanded tactics. Jim King is an honorable, determined ex-fur trapper who enters the New Mexico territory with aspirations of carving out his place in the fur trade. King embodies the spirit of resilience and ingenuity, refusing to let Duval’s monopoly go unchallenged. While Duval relies on fear and manipulation, King’s character, defined by his bravery and resolve to confront the established power, makes him a relatable hero seeking justice and opportunity in a volatile landscape.

The distinctive voices of each character were flawless.
