Description
When Jed Smith was a young boy, he wanted to learn about everything he could, especially history, theology, and exploration of the mysterious West. In between helping support his very large family, and occasional schooling from the town doctor, he dreamed of seeing for himself those tantalizing "white spaces on the map". He felt God's call for him was to explore the West that no other white men had ever seen, and waited patiently until he was able to pursue his dream. At the age of 23, he set out from St. Louis with a large trapping party, excited and energetic. He quickly realized though, that his Christian beliefs and his high standards set him apart from the other rough mountain men, and he had to prove himself to them more than once. Brought to you by Christian Liberty, Jed's adventuresome story of his exploration of those "white spaces" will be enjoyed by any boy or girl who has longed to "go where no one has gone before". - Jess
