. Very Good. Item #166323Major-General John Charles Fremont (1813-1890) was a United States army officer, politician, and explorer. In the 1840s, he led five expeditions to the Western U.S., and his scientific reports, co-authored by his wife Jessie, encouraged many Americans to travel West. A series of maps produced from his travels were used by thousands of Oregon Trail emigrants. This book contains the reports of Fremont’s first two expeditions. It was printed by order of the U.S. House of Representatives, and issued simultaneously with the Senate edition.
