Visit the site where the American fur trapper Jedediah Smith and his party who visited the South Coast in 1828 met with disaster Nineteen men and hundreds of horses traveled along the coast of Southern Oregon in the days when only the Indians had villages along its bays and rivers.
Near the Junction of the Smith River with the powerful Umpqua River, the Jedediah Smith’s party was attacked by the Indians of the Lower Umpqua region. Only a few men survived, one of whom was Smith who was away from the main party on a scouting for the best way to get to the Willamette Valley.
Today, a historical marker is located near the spot where the massacre is believed to have taken place, just north of the bridge across the Umpqua River at Reedsport. Local historical societies have information about Smith’s journey as well as other events of South Coast history.
