Historical background: Expedition of 1826-1827 : Smith spent almost a year on this journey, leaving Great Salt Lake with fifteen men for a trapping and trading expedition on August 22, 1826. The trip is summarized in this letter of Smith and the first of the two journals by his companion Harrison Rogers. Starting from an established fur trade rendezvous site at modern Laketown, Utah, Smith's party passed southwest through lands belonging to the Ute, Paiute, and Mohave nations and reached the Colorado River in early October. Crossing the Mohave Desert, they reached the Spanish mission of San Gabriel, near present-day Los Angeles, the following month, where they spent the winter. Because the Spanish would not let Smith trade in their coastal settlements, he traveled north up the central valley of California before climbing through the Sierra Nevada Mountains at the end of May. The party, crossed Nevada close to the route of modern-day U.S. Highway 6 and entered Utah near present-day Grandy. The party reached the rendezvous site near Great Salt Lake again in July, 1827. Expedition of 1827-1828 : After this trip, Smith and Rogers immediately retraced their route with another group of traders. but half were killed before they reached California. Smith, Rogers and the survivors continued north from California into Oregon and up the Pacific Coast, where all but Smith and three others were killed. The journey from California to Oregon is described in the second of Rogerso journals. Smith made it to a British trading post at modern Vancouver, British Columbia, and then to the Missouri country. Excerpt: Jedediah Strong Smith, unlike most of his contemporaries in the fur trade, came of pioneer New England stock. His father, plain Jedediah Smith, a native of New Hampshire, following that first stream of emigration into the Mohawk valley, settled in Chenango County, New York, toward the close of the eighteenth century. Here, on June 24, 1798, in the town of Bainbridge, his son, Jedediah Strong, was born, being one of fourteen children. 'Subsequently his parents pushed farther west living for a time in Erie, Pennsylvania, and finally in Ashtabula, Ohio. During his childhood, Smith acquired from a friendly physician, Dr. Simons, the rudiments, of an English education, and a smattering of Latin, and a fair hand. All through his life, Smith retained a warm affection and respect for this gentleman, whose daughter later married,one of Smith's brothers. It may very well have been he who first suggested to, Smith the utility of making a careful geographical study of the far West, an object which, Smith had seriously in mind .

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. quarto, one page of a four page bi-folium, formerly folded, remains of sealing wax, free franked by Smith on integral address leaf, in very good, clean condition. Smith, jurist and congressman from New Hampshire, writes transmitting documents for dissemination in the town of New London concerning the relations between the United States and Great Britain and France: "Gentlemen, In discharge of a duty I deem incumbent on me, I herewith transmit to my fellow citizens, by you, certain official documents containing as it were, a history of all our difficulties with the respective Governments of Great Britain and France. You, Gentlemen, can best determine in what manner to promulgate the information they contain. The reading and understanding of these documents will in my humble opinion completely disprove the unfounded charges which have been circulated in pamphlets and news paper paragraphs - grossly misrepresenting the conduct & views of the Executive and the majority in Congress. The perilous situation of our common country at a crisis so important as the present, ought to command the undivided support of all its Citizens - and I am satisfied that every rational mind after having a correct view of the real situation of this country with reference to the conduct of the Belligerents of Europe, must be convinced of the propriety & highly approve of the measures which have been adopted by the General Government of this Nation."
