Excerpt from Life: Explorations and Public Services of John Charles Fremont The second and third chapters of this work, embracing the period covered by the first two expeditions, have substantially the value and authority of an autobiography. Fremont tells his own story, in passages extracted from his Reports. This part of the volume gives, with the accompanying illustrations, a perfectly authentic account - as good as can be found - of the interior of the North American continent, its great features, and the races that occupy it. The Rocky Mountains, the parallel range of the Sierra Nevada, with the Basin - so full of strange interest, and not yet wholly made known to geography - between them; and the Pacific regions, are here described, in his own fresh and effective style, by their explorer.

Excerpt from The Life, Explorations, and Public Services of John Charles Fremont Convention assembled at Philadelphia - where was first adopted, significantly enough, the declaration OF amer ioan independence - as its chosen candidate for the Presidency of the. United. States! And who shall say that either the people's sorrow or joy was not based upon just apprehensions? In the one case, they trembled. For the safety of 1 the young hero, .who was the pioneer of civilization infregions so distant, .and, as it, was supposed, so entirelyxworthless to enlightefiedhumanity, thatthe late Mr. Mcdufiie compared them to thebritish convict icolony, Botany Bay! Other hand, he was recognized as'the anticipated-saviour of ourglorious blossom and fruit of the primal races of our Species, the last result of civilization in universal history, and the hope and representative of humanity raised up, as it were, by Providence to regenerate our common country from the calamities which fasten foul'stains upon her (otherwise fair) escutcheon, and to the perpetuation of which the representatives of all other political pal ties are pledged, viz. The ewtenscon upon American soil of Af1ican slavery, the p0pula1 reign of b1utality in the Ame1ican Senate, and the supp1 essmn of freedom of speech and debate within the precincts of that venerable hall!

“The most eloquent, understanding, and yet very candid biography of Frémont that has appeared to date”—Howard R. Lamar, Yale University The career of John Charles Frémont (1813–90) ties together the full breadth of American expansionism from its eighteenth-century origins through its culmination in the Gilded Age. Tom Chaffin's biography demonstrates Frémont's vital importance to the history of American empire, and illuminates his role in shattering long-held myths about the ecology and habitability of the American West. As the most celebrated American explorer and mapper of his time, Frémont stood at the center of the vast federal project of western exploration and conquest. His expeditions between 1838 and 1854 captured the public's imagination, inspired Americans to accept their nation's destiny as a vast continental empire, and earned him his enduring sobriquet, the Pathfinder. But Frémont was more than an explorer. Chaffin's dramatic narrative includes Frémont's varied experiences as an entrepreneur, abolitionist, Civil War general, husband to the remarkable Jessie Benton Frémont, two-time Republican presidential candidate, and Gilded Age aristocrat. This new paperback edition of Pathfinder features a new, additional, updated introduction by the author.
