Description
1849 California & Oregon John C Fremont Exploration GOLD Native American Indians
A rare edition of John C Fremont’s explorations and voyages in the American West. Printed shortly after the expedition itself, this account of exploration includes Fremont’s expeditions which took him to California, along the Oregon Trail, and through Nevada, where he encountered and battled Native American Indians.
Fremont reports and narratives of his explorations were exceedingly popular and, according to Kurutz, are considered the most monumental works of western exploration. This book changed the perspective of the American West, as it provided details of physical terrain and landmarks that had never been reported on through the mid-1800s.
Graff notes that this, like other editions, was designed for emigrants!
