But nearly a century was to elapse before a Homer should arise to tell the tale of his wan derings and sing the glory of his achievement. In the meantime, another and lesser man, following the trail which he had blazed, would be hailed as the "Pathfinder." John C. Fremont was the man but, by every rule of simple justice, that title belongs to Jedediah Strong Smith. gold-hunter- fan-shape- d; Considering the importance of Smith in the history of the fur extrade and of ploration, it seems strange that publication of a biography of this giant of the Old West should have been so long delayed.

Use such a portrait of him has been available and the complete story of the real "Pathfinder" told by an authority on the subject. He is Maurice S. Sullivan, whose "Jedediah Smith, Trader and Trail Breaker" was published recently by the Press of the Pioneers, Inc. of New York. This book is based upon a copy of Smith's diary which Sullivan unearthed after a search lasting many years. He found it in the possession of a remote branch of Smith's family and with it was a map of the Pathfinder's travels. Yankee Pioneers. Smith was born in the little village of Jericho, N. Y. on January 6, 1799, of a line of "tall, vigorous, stern, God - fearing Yankees" who had "reared successive generations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut . . . and pushed their way westward and southwestward, conquering the land as they went." He was the sixth of 14 children, all of whom had their schooling under a Connecticut schoolmaster bearing the impressive name of Titus Gordon Vespasian Simons. The westward urge struck young 'Diah Smith early. One factor in it was his reading an account of the explorations of Lewis and Clark. At the age of twenty-on- e he was hunting and trapping near the Rock river rapids in Illinois and in the spring of 1822 he strode into St. Louis bearing a rifle and a pack. The contents of that pack are interesting. It consisted of a few provisions, keepsakes and sevfull-leng- th three-quart- er Doan's Pills. Doan't are especially for poorly functioning kidneys.

Smith was engaged as hunter for the expedition and although that relieved him of the ardous task of helping drag the keelboat they ("cordelling." called it) up the Big Muddy, his duties exposed him constantly to attack from either supposedly friendly or openly hostile Indians. However, he successfully avoided those dangers during the trip up the river as he did similar dangers that winter when he was hunter for the post which Major Henry had established at the mouth of the Yellowstone. Young 'Diah won his spurs as an Indian fighter during the attack by the Arikaras (or Rees) on Ashley's party the next year. He also won the high regard of that leader by being one of the two men who volunteered for the task of traversing miles to get the 300 danger-fillehelp from Major Henry on the Yellowstone. As a result, he became a captain of the company of trappers who joined with Col. Henry Leavenworth in his punitive expedition against the Rees and he also became one of Ashcaptains in ley's most trusted the conduct of the trapping and that enertrading business which on during getic leader carried the next three years in the Rocky Mountains. During this time Smith widened his acquaintance among the trappers and fur traders who were already famous or would become famous later such men as Jim Bridger, Joe Meek, Mi- psalm-singin- Bible-carryin- g, IM ill i i 75-fo- ot up-riv- er d and acknowledged the right to leadership of this slender, beardless young Yankee. He became their leader in still another sense in 1826 when Ashley, who had made a modest fortune out of the fur business in three years, decided to retire. So he sold his stock of goods, his company and everything he owned in the mountains to Smith, William Sublette and David E. Jackson. The new firm immediately di vided up the duties of the business. Smith became the finder of new fur trails, Sublette was in charge of field operationsof and the Jackson was in charge company business. As a finder of new fur country Smith immediately set off upon his amazing wanderings. He started west out of the Salt Lake basin with 15 men. They passed the Great Salt Lake and headed southwest-war- d for California. This route took them across the blazing desert and the hardships which they suffered on this journey were terrific. But they won Mo-ja- i - - fit T !

The land ended, there was water, and an island in a vast ocean. What thoughts passed through the mind of 'Diah Smith as he gazed upon this wonder we can only conjecture. He may have thought of the Greeks, of whom he had read, who after long wanderinge came joyfully at last to the sea. He may have thought of Balboa, 'silent, upon a peak Eu-xin- MJl0m will fM in Darien.' Certainly he thought of the vision which had drawn him through suffering and danger, the first white man to cross the continent from the bank of the Mississippi to the California shore. "Now lay the second gate open, the high road charted; westward the course of empire saw its way. In the young Yankee hunter, sitting his horse on the rim of the world, lay the end of hope for England, or for Russia to take California, for Spain to regain it, or for Mexico to keep its slender hold." nis Odyssey Begins. Jedediah Smith came to the end of his first remarkable journey. But it was only the beginning of others, even more remarkable in many respects. When he arrived in San Diego the Spanish authorities looked with considerable suspicion on this invader who might be coming to spy out their fair country, westward-pushin- g for those Americans who had so recently extended their domain from the Mississippi river to the crest of the Rockies. After spending some time at San Diego, where he purchased supplies, Smith led his men still seeking good beaver streams. Failing to find them on the San Joaquin and the Merced rivers, he pushed on to the Stanislaus. Then he turned his eyes eastward where the Sierra Ned vada range lifted its peaks toward the sky. Leaving most of his party on the Stanislaus, Smith with two companions, seven horses and two pack mules set out to scale the range. For eight days they fought tne snowdrifts and finally emerged on the eastern side. But ahead of them was the Nevada desert, worse even than the Mojave. For 20 days they marched across that inferno and by the time they had finally conquered it they had eaten all of their horses but one. and gaunt with hunger, they managed to reach the summer rendezvous of the trappers on Bear lake, near the present Lakewood, Utah. The Pathfinder Instinct. Smith had traveled a great circle over country never before trod by white men. But his unerring pathfinder instinct had led him straight to his goal. Undaunted by the experiences he had been through, he set out again after only a short rest, this time with 19 men and two Indian women. This time, the Spanish, fearing no good of Smith's explorations, had incited the Indians against him and at the Mojave villages beset his small party. Ten of his men were killed, the two squaws carried off to captivity. All his belongings were lost. With the remnants of his party he reached California. To make matters worse, the Spaniards clapped Smith in jail at San Jose and later moved him to Monterey. But he finally succeeded in getting his freedom by signing a paper that he would leave the country immediately. North he headed with his party for 300 miles to the American Fork. Beaver here were plentiful. The traps were daily yielding rich catches and a small for tune in furs was being gathered. Into Oregon, British territory, the party went, for these fur trad So land-hungr- y, snow-cappe- Sun-bake- ,sar i JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH ers had little regard for political boundaries. They encamped on the Umpqua river. There, one day while Smith was away, the Indians fell on the camp and vir tually wiped it out. Only two men escaped. The Indians took the entire outfit and that rich haul of furs. Smith came back to find everything gone. One of the men who had escaped joined him there and the two headed farther north for Fort Vancouver. There, strangely enough, the good Dr. greeted them warmly, although the Hudson's Bay company frowned on invasions of its fur empire. McLoughlin sent out parties and made the Indians disgorge the loot they had obtained in the massacre of the camp. Then he paid Smith $20,000 for the lot. The other refugee from the camp reached the fort and, in March of 1829, Smith and his two companions set out up the Columbia to drop over the divide and make his way back to the mountains where his company was operating. He joined them this time in Pierre's Hole and there the three partners were united for the first time in two years. The following year Sublette and Jackson, well satisfied with their returns from the fur trade, decided to retire and enter the Santa Fe trade. candidates TpHREE for milady's wardrobe, every one a winner.

In the spring of 1831 he led a caravan out of Independence, Mo., headed for Santa Fe. One morn ing in May his men found themselves entering a barren stretch of country between the Arkansas and the Cimarron rivers. It was known by the Mexicans as "La Jornada" (the journey), with the implication that it might become a journey of death. And that was just what it was for Jedediah Smith. After three days of thirst, Smith rode ahead to find water, At last he found it a muddy hole in the dry wash of the Cimarron, As he drank, a war party of Comanche Indians surrounded him. Young 'Diah Smith made the peace sign to them. But their intention was not peace.
