" Half alligator, half preacher!" A quote from a mountain man that knew him....

I live about ten minutes from the Smith River in Northern Cal. and about half an hour from Jedediah Smith State Park in the Redwoods. Jed Smith traveled by foot and horseback over some of the hardest ground on the planet for years. walking around in the woods here and blazing your own trails is absolutely ball busting hard work. it's sad that he survived so much just to be taken out at the end of his labors. bad luck to be caught in the open just before he was soon to cash in on the European and Eastern American lecture circuit. but he pissed off a whole lot of Indians in his travels and lifted a few scalps as well as inadvertently cost some of his companions to lose their hair too. hell of a story Hoss, many thanks.

I'd seen it many times but only in passing when I was there on business, and mostly using it as a reference point to find where I needed to be. As soon as she saw it, she burst into tears.

This is probably the best and most accurate accounting I have seen on KZread about the death of Jedidiah Smith. I have read and researched the history of the fur trade and the mountain men for my own interest in the subject as well as accuracy in my work (artist). One of my best friends and his wife live on the Shoshone/Arapaho reservation at Fort Washakie, Wyoming and my friend, a sculptor who's work can be seen at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Museum, The Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and the U.S Congressional Hall of Statues. Richard Greeves was also a noted historian on the fur trade, mountain men and especially the Native Americans who were his main subject. I would stay with them on my trips during the summer while researching, painting on location and photographing most of the places where the fur trade did so much of their exploring and trapping. I was privileged to learn so much from Richard and his bringing all the books to life. For anyone interested, there are a few books I do recommend. "A Majority of Scoundrels" by Don Berry. This has a lot of the Ashley-Henry men and a lot of Jedediah Smith. The history book "Across The Wide Missouri" by Bernard DeVoto (Not the fictional book made into a movie many years ago). Osborne Russell Journal Of A Trapper . Osborne Russell gives a first hand account of the fur trade but he came west after Smith was dead, but there is some excellent accounts of other events that happened, as well as some interesting observances on some tribes the Fur trappers encountered. Russell was a fairly well educated man for his time period. "Bill Sublette Mountain Man" by John E. Sunder. And of course "Jedediah Smith No Ordinary Mountain Man" by Barton H. Barbour University of Oklahoma Press. These are only a small amount of excellent books on mountain men and the fur trade. Most can be found in different university press. I can't say which ones without going through my personal library which is quite extensive. Sorry, but maybe Amazon or www.abebooks.com or Thrift books. And two great books for background of this period of history are " Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" and "Black Elk Speaks" and if you really want to get into this period of American history of course is "The Journals Of Lewis and Clark" All of these are great reads and have real accounts better than anything Hollywood can come up with.

Great documentary, well done! One inconstancy I find is the story says he left the Comancheros heading south for a few miles to Wagon Bed Springs. The Cimerron river runs East to West pretty much at that place. Looking west from the river it heads slightly Southwest. The point to all this is the Wagon bed Springs is only a quarter of a mile South at best from the river. Can't imagine the river had changed course over the years as it has been mostly dried up for years, and all the land around it is several hundred feet higher in elevation. I pass by this every week in my travels and is located about 7 miles South of present day Ulysses, KS. The state has put up a historical maker next to the highway commemorating the event. Always when I drive by I always look towards the West and think of him...

Many people dont realize how the Comanche tribe was formed. It started as a Band of Eastern Shoshone, that migrated to the Southern Plains from Wyoming. They were not a tribe originally from the Southern Plains.

Very true, it was land of the Apache until the Spanish brought horses. They were tired of the Apache raiding and killing them since the plains were so called land of the “higher class” due to the Buffalo herds. Once the Comanche obtained strayed horses, they mastered horse back and vowed to demolish the Apache off the plains. Leading to the last band of the Apache so called the Lipan Apache being pushed out of south texas.

Even as a traveler among legendary trappers and explorers, Smith stood Head & Shoulders above his peers. A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert Utley is a very good history of these people and their exploits.

One important element of Comanche and Kiowa violence was the fact that in 1800, a mission paid them a ransom to return captured individuals. This created a culture of capture and ransom that continued until the U.S. ended its side of it in 1866. This led to more violent captures and the resultant Indian Wars throughout the West. Not that violent captures had not occurred previously. They had. The Cynthia Parker case is famous but there were many that were bad or worse. Cynthia Parker saw her family raped and butcher b before her eyes before being carried off as a child. A very good record of Indian Capture history is "A Fate Worse than Death," by Gregory and Susan Michno.

Great story love the American wild west stories Australia has its own stories as well probably not as colorful as the wild west but it was just as hash for the explorers love your work

Wagon bed springs is about 10 miles south of my hometown of Ulysses, KS. It is on the Cimmarron river. Not really much there. We used to go camping out there when we were kids. I think he (Jed Smith) was actually killed 2-3 miles east and south of there.

Another entertaining episode H.OK.C. Inspiring too. In so far as I've added American Western History to my book collection. And I must say, I am amazed, at the quantity/quality available. I stick primarily to Primary Source material, as I've found modern history books are too much hard work.

All around me the current "experts" on Indian life tell us that we must honor their past, and should be giving up our lands to return them to the surviving Sioux, your history answers NO! We fought hard for this land in the past, our ancestors knew the Indian for what they were, and fought them where necessary to tame this land and make it ours. All around the world, if you study History, you will find that the Strong push the weaker peoples from the land and take it as their own. This is the way of man, and must be remembered.

Interesting video! Jedediah Smith had a wonderful experience in his travels and discoveries. One can sense when another have bad intentions. No man would allow another man in his house embracing that man without knowing his intentions. A Stranger is a stranger no matter how you look at it. The Native Indians only were protecting their Families, properties and integrity. You cannot trust the man beside you, much less a stranger. Don't forget who the BEASTS were in those days. The Whiteman in those days were not to be trusted, they only talk peace until they could get their hands on background (Vast Territories and Minerals) of their confrontation with the Natives. Whiteman sent groups of scout into the Native territories to get information on the Natural Resources out there so they could enrich themselves and their families. They searched for anything that could bring them wealth so they could buy more properties and gain more Power over their own kind. The Native were only protecting their people and the Whiteman interpreted that as the Natives were Monsters in order to fool people so that they were terrified of the Natives. The Natives wanted to live like any other Race of Humans on Earth!

Smith was always wanted his men to travel in groups when they went away from the main party in order to be safe in case of attacks by Indians. Never made sense why he broke his own rule especially in territory controlled by the Comanche.

When the Comancheros say you will not be able to avoid them. What do you do? He had the presence of mind at least to take out their leader. "Corroborated with their own eyewitness accounts." Complex dynamic that the comancheros could trail him, being allowed to do so by the Comanche. They knew he would not survive, and if he did, they wanted to see it.
