## Resource

Beaver Dick, the legendary trapper and guide whose giant front teeth earned him his nickname, shaped the American West—especially Idaho—through exploration, hospitality, and storytelling. He guided the pivotal 1872 Hayden Expedition through the Tetons, helping pave the way for Yellowstone National Park. His Shoshone wife, Jenny, was equally vital, and both were honored with lakes named in their memory. Their lives ended tragically in 1876 when smallpox claimed Jenny and their six children. Today, landmarks like Beaver Dick Park and the Jenny Leigh Pioneer Cemetery keep their legacy alive, embedding their story into Idaho’s enduring landscape.
