Description:"The most eloquent, understanding, and yet very candid biography of Fremont that has appeared to date"--Howard R. Lamar, Yale UniversityThe career of John Charles Fremont (1813-90) ties together the full breadth of American expansionism from its eighteenth-century origins through its culmination in the Gilded Age.

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 Fremont was more than an explorer.
