As a young man of twenty-four, he went into the Rocky Mountains and up into the Snake country with William Ashley's small powder-horn-full of fur entrepreneurs, and with no more prep- aration that his own adaptability pro- vided, quickly made himself resource- ful and at home in the wilderness. The names of his fellows and contemporaries in the beaver country are memorable: Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger, Black Harris, and Lucien Frontenelle. Within five years he was as notable as they, as explorer, exploiter of the fur trade, a forceful hand in breaking the fur mo- nopoly of John Jacob Astor, and pre- cursor of the wagon-train migration of a later generation. ...
