Conceived in 1903 as Frederic Remington's ninth model in bronze, The Mountain Man effectively captures a scene of frontier life in the Old West, as a trapper and horse sharply descend a rugged pass. In order to depict the movement of the horse accurately, the artist relied on his collection of photographs of military officers as well as a live model: his friend and military Rough Rider, General Leonard Wood, who had served in the Spanish-American War. Because Remington wished to emphasize the high, steep slope of the mountain path, The Mountain Man is several inches higher than his other bronzes.

Michael Greenbaum notes, "during Remington's lifetime, The Mountain Man was one of his most critically accepted works. It was one of two groups purchased in 1905 by the Corcoran Gallery of Art and one of four subjects bought in 1907 by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It remains one of his most enduring sculptural works, a striking representational image of the frontier." (Icons of the West: Frederic Remington's Sculpture, Ogdensburg, New York, 1996, p. 107)
