Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Young American´s Life of Fremont I have written the following pages chiefly, not solely, for young Americans - Americans for boys on or near those stairs to manhood called teens. John C. Fremont is a man who has hewed his way, through many obstacles, to greatness and usefulness. There are few men of the present age, who have accomplished so much, in so brief a period, for themselves and their country. Beginning his career without wealth, without influential friends, without the prestige of distinguished ancestry, he has risen, by the force of his own iron will, to a position among his countrymen, which kings might envy. He has won for himself the name, though still below the full meridian of life, of one of the greatest explorers of the nineteenth century. Whether we judge of his explorations by the amount of genius, and courage, and daring, and perseverance, which they involved, or by their magnificent results, we are forced to admit that they are seldom equaled. On this account - not only because of his success, but because he made his own road to success - I regard his history as one of great value to young men, now preparing to take active parts in the great drama of life. I have written these sketches, with this end, more than any other, in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
