William Sublette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Lewis Sublette (September 21, 1799 – July 23, 1845) was a fur trapper, pioneer and mountain man.
William was recruited by William Henry Ashley as part of a fur trapping contingent later referred to as Ashley's Hundred. Sublette went on to acquire Ashley's fur business along with Jedediah Smith and David Edward Jackson.
In 1832, Sublette was wounded in the battle of Pierre's Hole in Idaho. After some uneventful fur business ventures, he finally settled in St. Louis, Missouri.
