Into The Wild Frontier
Into The Wild Frontier - Jedediah Smith: Scholar and Survivor: A young Jedediah Smith joins William Ashley's expedition and helps establish the fur trade along the Missouri River, but it's not hunting or trapping he longs for...it's adventure. Inspired by Lewis and Clark, he wants to explore the vast, uncharted American frontier. Trekking through unknown and unforgiving terrain, Smith's iron will and unwavering courage under fire help him survive a vicious grizzly bear attack, hostile Native Americans, and life-or-death periods of starvation, dehydration, and exhaustion. During his incredible journeys, he becomes the first non-Native American to cross the Mojave Desert into California, the first to navigate through the perilous Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the first to traverse the Great Basin Desert. He ultimately sees more of the American West than any other adventurer, including Lewis and Clark, and opens the frontier in a way that no other mountain man can claim.
