In 1826, Jedediah Smith decided to lead a group of men southwest from Utah to search for the Buenaventura River, the mythical river that appeared on old Spanish maps but that no one had been able to find. The group made it to California without seeing the river, so Jed and two of his men went out again, heading east over the mountains and the desert. It was a treacherous journey, but Jed would not give up.
