William Joseph Snelling
26.12.1804 - 24.12.1848
William Joseph Snelling was an American adventurer, writer, poet, and journalist.
William was the son of Colonel Josiah Snelling and lived among the Indians for quite a long time, knew their customs and language, and worked as an interpreter.
In 1828, Snelling began working as a journalist for several periodicals. In his publications, he addressed poignant and important social topics and raised the issue of the threat to Native American life. His stories included early descriptions of Native Americans on the plains; he earned his greatest fame as the author of accounts of his adventures on the American frontier.
