Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1842 John C. Frémont led a party of twenty-five men on a five-month journey from Saint Louis to the Wind River Range in the Rocky Mountains; his goal: to chart the best route to Oregon. In 1843 Frémont was commissioned for another expedition, to explore the Great Salt Lake, Washington, eastern California, Carson Pass, and the San Joaquin Valley, places that did not yet belong to the United States.His journals from these expeditions, edited in collaboration with his wife, Jessie Benton Frémont, and published by Congress, thrilled the nation and firmly established Frémont's persona as the Great Pathfinder. Part descriptive survey, part rousing adventure story, Frémont's account was far more than a traveler's guide. His tales of courage and wit, descriptions of beautiful landscapes, and observations about Native Americans strengthened Americans' sense of a national identity and belief in Manifest Destiny. Still a fascinating page-turner today, Frémont's report documents the opening of the West even as it offers a firsthand look at the making of the American myth.Anne F. Hyde provides an introduction to this signature American story that contextualizes the report, outlines Frémont's rise and fall, and shows how, for better or worse, this explorer exemplifies the nineteenth-century American spirit.…

Hardcover. Senate Issue. 691pp. Octavo [23 cm] Rebound in sturdy tan cloth. New endsheets and flyleaves. Good plus. The plates and pages are foxed, and there are sporadic tidemarks of varying sizes on the pages as well. 22 single-sided plates (views, botanical, fossils) and 3 maps (missing the large folding map by Charles Preuss, and the map at p. 247). John Fremont's expeditions of 1842 and 1843-44 were the most spectacular reconnaissance of the American West since Lewis and Clark. Performed under the auspices of the Army Bureau of Topographical Engineers, the expedition's published reports and maps brought a factor of dependability and trustworthiness that would aid American settlement of the West. Fremont's report was the most detailed observations of the western territories at the time. The country covered by the report was previously terra incognito--Brigham Young is said to have used both the report as a guide in bringing the Mormon people West. Utah was then part of Mexico and would first become Deseret and then Utah territory. One of the seminal works for any western or Utah collector. Howes F-372(Senate Issue). Wagner/Camp 115.2.…

Soft cover. 1st Edition. 4to., (9 5/8 x 5 7/8 inches). Large fine folding lithographed "Map showing The Property of the Philada. & Cala. Mg. Co. Mariposa California" (very slightly toned, slight offsetting to title page). Original publisher's green paper printed wrappers, preserved in a modern cloth portfolio (just touched). First edition. "This company publication includes the terms of a lease from John C. Fremont, a letter from him to the company dated November 10, 1851, and a report of the enterprise's condition and prospects" (Kurutz). The articles stipulate that "the subscribers hereto, having acquired a lease of Six Hundred feet square of land, granted by John Charles Fremont, upon which there is a large quartz vein of gold, situate upon the river Mariposas. and which is deemed to be of great value--the title to which property the subscribers have conveyed to the Trustees of this Company, in trust for the stockholders--offer an opportunity to others to participate in the advantages and profits of said property." In October 1848 Frémont had set out on his ill-fated fourth expedition, "partially financed by St. Louis businessmen eager to locate a central, all-weather railroad route through the Rockies. During the unusually severe winter, the expedition lost its way in the rugged mountains of southern Colorado, and ten men, a third of the expedition, perished in the snow. While Frémont and several reliable men in his party blamed the guide, William S. 'Old Bill' Williams, other members blamed Frémont himself. Despite the tragedy, Frémont pushed on to California, where gold had been discovered at Las Mariposas, a seventy-square-mile tract near Yosemite Valley that he had purchased sight unseen in 1847 for $3,000. Las Mariposas made Frémont rich, but he was not a shrewd businessman. Until he sold it in 1864, its legal entanglements and escalating costs diminished both his profits and his energy" (Pamela Herr for ANB).…

4pp. Self-wrappers. 4pp. Self-wrappers. An intriguing defense of the religious convictions of John C. Fremont, published amid accusations of his being a "papist" during the 1856 presidential campaign. The present pamphlet responds to seven specific points of evidence, among them his secret marriage by a Catholic priest to Jessie Benton, daughter of his patron, Senator Thomas Benton. It publishes numerous letters affirming Fremont as a practicing Protestant, and even supposes he was mistaken for a Lieut. Sewell L. Fremont, a known Catholic. While both Fremont and his opponent, James Buchanan, took a relatively passive role in the campaign, there was no shortage of ill will between the two camps. Already hurt by questions surrounding his illegitimate birth, lack of campaign funds, and fears of southern secession, Fremont's alleged practice of Catholicism added a final insurmountable hurdle in his run for the White House.
