This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.
1927. The story of Fremont is told in these pages. The magnetic and
legendary Pathfinder became a national hero for his trailblazing
exploits in the Far West. He was instrumental in taking California
away from Mexico, served as one of the state's first senators, and
made his fortune during the Gold Rush. Fremont's popularity and his
antislavery position made him the Republican Party's first
presidential nominee in 1856. The youngest man yet to run for the
office. His loss to James Buchanan is largely attributed to the
threat by the Southern states to secede if he were elected. He was
the most celebrated general appointed by Lincoln. His major
contribution to the Civil War was to focus the Union on the role
emancipation should play in the North's war policy. His reputation
and finances suffered in later years, but he resumed his political
career and served as territorial governor of Arizona.
