EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of Jedediah Smith, a prominent figure in American history. Born in 1799, Smith was an adventurer and explorer who played a significant role in the expansion of North America during the 19th century. In this portrait, we see Smith's rugged and weathered face, reflecting his life as a fur trapper and trader. His piercing gaze speaks volumes about his determination and resilience as he navigated through uncharted territories. Smith's contribution to American exploration cannot be overstated. He ventured into unknown lands, mapping out new routes that would later become crucial for westward expansion. His fearless spirit led him to cross vast wildernesses, encounter Native American tribes, and establish trade networks that shaped the future of America. As we admire this engraving by the American School from the 19th century, it is impossible not to feel drawn into Smith's world. The attention to detail showcases his attire - a testament to his survival skills - with furs draped over one shoulder and a rifle resting on another. Jedediah Smith represents an era when men like him pushed boundaries both physically and mentally. This lithograph serves as a reminder of their indomitable spirit and their pivotal role in shaping our nation's history.
