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.

In 1842, the U.S. government sent John Fremont out to map the rest of the unknown West. He couldn’t have done it without the help of the famous mountain man Kit Carson. Trappers and explorers had mapped much of the land, but Captain Fremont’s job was to fill in the gaps so that the map of America was complete.
