After the expedition I was brought to St. Louis by my mother
and father to receive an education. William Clark was my guardian
as I learned French and English, classical literature, history,
mathematics and science. In 1823 I met Paul William, a real
German prince, who was traveling in America. He liked me and
asked if I wanted to go to Europe with him - and I said Yes!
I lived for six years as a member of the royal household, receiving
a classical education in Germany. I returned to Missouri in
1829, worked as a trapper in Idaho and Utah, traveled with mountainmen
Jim Bridger, Jim Beckwourth and Joe Meek, and was a guide during
the War with Mexico for the "Mormon Column." Later
I went to California to get rich in the gold rush. I died of
pneumonia in Oregon in 1866. |
