This is the exciting story of the fur traders and trappers who
explored and opened up the American West in the first decades of
the nineteenth century. As told by the acclaimed poet and writer
John G. Neihardt, the era of the mountain men unfolds through the
legendary exploits of Jedediah Smith, who ascended the Missouri
River in 1822 and was killed by Comanche Indians nine years later.
As Neihardt tells so well, Smith's accomplishments were many: the
first white man to cross the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin from
west to east; the first to travel by land to California and travel
northward to the Columbia River; and the first to see that South
Pass was the key travel route to the Far West.
