Jedediah Smith
I have read a great deal about Smith ( wrote a newspaper article on him once) and nothing I have tells a physical description of him.
He was a famous mountain man. He was a hunter, trapper, fur trader, trailblazer, and explorer of the Rocky Mountains, the American West Coast and the Southwest during the nineteenth century. He was the fourth of twelve children. " Jedediah Smith's explorations were significant in opening the American West to expansion by white settlers.
