Pathfinder: John Charles Fremont And The Course Of American Empire

John C. Frémont's 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." This biography demonstrates Frémont's vital importance to the history of American empire, and his role in shattering long-held myths about the ecology and habitability of the American West. 9780806144740 0806144742 0 BOOK Explorers NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ar4GngEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
