God's Mountain Man, 25th Anniversary Edition

by Esther Loewen Vogt

Most of the mountain men you've heard of were knife-totin', hard-drinking, never-prayin' frontiersmen—but not Jedediah Strong Smith.

In God's Mountain Man, author Esther Loewen Vogt introduces us to a man who was different, from the Bible in his “possibles bag” to his kind heart. In these pages, you'll hear tell of his treacherous river crossings, frontier battles, and even a fight with a fearsome grizzly.

But what's more, you'll also discover how Jed's wisdom and faith in God carried him as he explored the unknown territory that now makes up the western United States. Vogt's engaging storytelling brings to life the remarkable true spirit of a pioneer who lived for a higher purpose.

Based on the life of Jedidiah Strong Smith (1798–1831).
