The Life, Explorations and Public Services of John Charles Fremont is a biographical account of the famous American explorer and politician, written by Charles Wentworth Upham. The book details Fremont's early life, his expeditions across the American West and his political career, which included serving as a United States Senator and running for president. The book begins with Fremont's childhood and education, before delving into his early explorations of the West, including his participation in expeditions to map the Oregon Trail and explore the Rocky Mountains. The book also covers Fremont's controversial role in the Mexican-American War, where he was accused of mutiny and disobedience, but ultimately acquitted. The later chapters of the book focus on Fremont's political career, including his time in the United States Senate, where he was known for his advocacy of western expansion and his opposition to slavery. The book also covers Fremont's unsuccessful presidential campaigns in 1856 and 1864, as well as his later years as a businessman and explorer. Upham's book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of Fremont's life and legacy, painting a portrait of a complex and influential figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
