Описание: -The most eloquent, understanding, and yet very candid biography of Fremont that has appeared to date---Howard R. Lamar, Yale University The career of John Charles Fremont (1813-90) ties together the full breadth of American expansionism from its eighteenth-century origins through its culmination in the Gilded Age. Tom Chaffin's biography demonstrates Fremont's vital importance to the history of American empire, and illuminates his role in shattering long-held myths about the ecology and habitability of the American West. As the most celebrated American explorer and mapper of his time, Fremont stood at the center of the vast federal project of western exploration and conquest. His 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. But Fremont was more than an explorer. Chaffin's dramatic narrative includes Fremont's varied experiences as an entrepreneur, abolitionist, Civil War general, husband to the remarkable Jessie Benton Fremont, two-time Republican presidential candidate, and Gilded Age aristocrat. This new paperback edition of Pathfinder features a new, additional, updated introduction by the author.

Описание: Excerpt from Nothing Short of a Notice to Spain to Quit the Western Hemisphere Will Meet the Requirements of the Situation: Speech of Hon. Charles F. Cochran, of Missouri, in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, March 16, 1898 I call the attention of this House and of the country to the fact that for more than a year, upon this side of the Chamber, the de mand for the recognition of the belligerent rights of the Cuban patriots has been incessantly made, and to the further fact that, in order to evade performance of that plain duty, every subterfuge possible to he invented has been resorted to by the Republican majority in this body. The law has been perverted. The notori ous facts of history have been denied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
