This is the journal of Jedediah Smith, businessman, mountain man, adventurer and explorer and his expedition to California in 1826. Smith kept a detailed and interesting account as he made his way from Utah, across the Rocky Mountains and to coastal California. He encountered many Indian tribes along the way, some who had never encountered Europeans before.The journey was very difficult, through harsh terrain, and he has many tales to tell of the deprivations of desert and mountain.
