Publisher's Synopsis
John Charles Frémont or Fremont (1813-1890) was an American military officer, explorer, and politician who became the first candidate of the anti-slavery Republican Party for the office of President of the United States. During the 1840s, when he led four expeditions into the American West, that era's penny press and admiring historians accorded Frémont the sobriquet The Pathfinder. This book contains the daily journal of his first expedition, with the numerical charts and botanical report being omitted. This pre-1923 publication has been converted from its original format for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the conversion or from the original publication.
