Jedediah Smith was an American bad ass.

We need to raise our children to learn more about great American men that did incredible things like Jedediah did.

If I can help restore American culture to inspire others to learn about our heritage and be proud to be an American, I’m gonna do it.

I live near the Jed Smith National Redwood Forest and the Smith River. I've read his biography and he was an amazing man, a deep Christian, and a natural born leader. Very few realize that he was instrumental in opening the way for the pioneers to come west and open the west up so we had one country from sea to shining sea... He found the passage the wagons would take to come to the west - his adventures were beyond remarkable!

I LIVE where National Parks and areas are named for him. I'm a teacher - and NONE of the students here, or their parents, or even the locals who have lived here their whole life...none of them know who Jed Smith was or what he did. And they live here with his name plastered all over the area...

Schools dumb children down, purposefully...we are losing our heritage and the role models that created wonderful Americans.
