This seems to be a major emphasis employed later on in his career as he became more critical of his own work. It was important to Remington that he pay attention to the stance of the rider and animal to ensure the life likeness. He compiled his ideas from a number of resources which consisted mainly of photos and a few sketches, one of which was Prussian military officer riding down a mountain.
Remington believed that this 1903 bronze when viewed from the front or side conveyed a dizzy sense of height, in hopes to show all viewers just how dangerous the adventurous of these individuals’ lives were. Letting the viewer gain a feeling that they are right there on the side of the mountain. It was important to Remington that the sculpture shows the skillfulness of balance and surefootedness and also gives great attention to the detail in the Mountain Mans’ attire. As Remington described in a letter to the museum curator of the Corcoran Gallery of art ( where he intended to market the piece), “This Mountain Man I intend to be as one of those old Iroquois trappers who followed the fur companies in the Rocky Mountains in the 30’s and 40’ties.” This bronze portrayed one of the most revered and popular Western genres, the fur trapper. The Mountain Man statuettes are sharply delineated with a rich variety of textures, particularly evident in the fringed buckskin garment, the animal’s hairy hide, and the rocklike base. Together, rider and horse continue the decline with caution in every tense move. The rider tugs at the rein with one hand and steadies himself with the other hand as he leans back in the saddle. His horse quivers nervously, lifting a hind leg and front hoof as the pair skid down the mountain.

The Mountain Man bronze portrayed one of the most revered and popular Western genres, the fur trapper slowly, the rider descends a summit trail. The sculptor chose a dramatic episode in the daily life of a trapper, his and his mount’s descent on an almost vertical slope. He “The Mountain Man” as one of the “old Iroquois trappers who followed the Fur Companies in the Rocky Mountains in the 1830s & 40’ties,” probably referring to French Canadian trappers. The design is extremely detailed and realistic, showcasing expert craftsmanship by the sculptor, Frederic Remington. This amazing Western themed sculpture features a mountain man riding a horse down a steep and treacherous rocky mountain slope.
