Excerpt from History of Nevada: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers

Wm. H. Ashley, of St. Louis, Missouri, a celebrated mountaineer, discovered the Great Salt Lake of Utah in 1824, and a smaller lake near by that received his name, where he erected a fort, and established his headquarters for the remaining years of his adventurous career as a' Rocky Mountain trapper. Mr. Ashley had a partner named Jedediah S. Smith, a native of New York, whose mountain life was a chapter of thrilling adventure, until it was ended in 1831, by the arrow of an ambushed Indian assassin on the Cimarron River.
