John Hoback was recorded in post American Revolution from 1790-1794 as being in the service of Kentucky as a scout and spy.
In 1810, five men joined the Astorians on the way upriver. Three of them, John Hoback, Jacob Rezner and Edward Robinson served as guides and trappers, wintered with Andrew Henry of the Missouri Fur Company on Henry's Fork of Snake River in Idaho. These three men reached the Missouri River by way of Jackson Hole, Togwotee Pass, and the Bighorn Mountains. The other two, Benjamin Jones and Alexander Carson were returning from two years trapping on the upper Missouri.
Wilson Price Hunt of the Astor Expedition (also known as the Pacific Fur Company) originally planned to follow the route of Lewis and Clark, but after talking to the new arrivals, he decided to follow the route of Hoback, Rezner, and Robinson through the Bighorn mountains, up Wind River, over Togwotee Pass, and into Jackson Hole. It is believed that these three were the first white men to come across this area.
Several areas are now named after him:
Hoback Basin
Hoback Bridge (Snake River)
Hoback Canyon
Hoback Peak
Hoback Range
Hoback River
Hoback Junction, Teton Co., Wyoming
The Astorians set the group up with supplies and hired them to trap. They again had misfortune and was heading back to Kentucky. They again met up with some Astorians and decided to stay in the west to trap.
In 1813 they met up with some of their old friends from their first trip trapping. The friends were also being sponsored by the Astorians. So they formed a group with 2 cabins about a mile or so apart.
One of the men was married to an Indian woman. One day while she and her 2 children were visiting a nearby village she heard that some of the younger men were wanting to attack the trappers. She hurried back to warn the men. When she came upon the first cabin finding her husband and all others but one already dead. She took the survivor and her 2 children and headed for the other cabin only to arrive and find all dead. She then returned to the friendly village to hide from those who had killed the trappers.
A few days later another man who was with the Astorians came into the village. She told him what she had found. If it were not for that No one would have ever known what had happened to the trappers.
