I wanted to like The Mountain Men, it's got a great centrepiece: bad ass pioneers with huge manly beards doing manly things and generally being manly. Sadly The Mountain Men goes out of it's way to try and completely reverse any realism that revisionist westerns have made. You've got a goofy soundtrack which is far too positive and the only golden boy is the white man (as natives are depicted as savages except for 1 or 2). Basically everything you don't want in a realistic western.
