James Ohio Pattie

James Ohio Pattie (c. 1804 – c. 1850) was an American frontiersman and author from Kentucky. Between 1824 and 1830, Pattie took part in a series of fur trapping and trading expeditions, traveling through the American West and Southwest and into modern-day northern and central Mexico.

In 1831, Pattie collaborated with Kentucky newspaperman Timothy Flint to publish an account of his travels, which has been praised by historians for its vivid descriptions of the Southwest, although the exact veracity of Pattie's account is disputed.
