Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from With Carson and Fremont: Being the Adventures, in the Years 1842-´43-´44, on Trail Over Mountains and Through Deserts, From the East of the Rockies to the West of the Sierras, of Scout Christopher Carson and Lieutenant John Charles Fremont, Leading Their Brave Company Including T The trail journal of the first two government exploring expeditions commanded by Lieutenant John Charles Fremont, of the United States Engineers, and advised by Kit Carson, mountain-man, are to be found together published, spring of 1845, as reports transmitted by the Secretary of War to the National Senate and House. These journals, recording peril and privation faced for the wide public good and not for narrow private gain, occupy their honored niche among the golden archives of the Republic, and should be better known in American school and home. The trails themselves are eternal, denoted by names which have endured, many of them, unto this day. Of the men who may proudly and truthfully say, "I was with Fremont," or "I was with Carson," few indeed remain; and they will soon be gone, for man passes on, while that which he has wrought survives. The Oliver Wiggins in this narrative is real. I have talked with him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
