1901, pp42-49. Removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG.

Becoming a civil engineer in the government service, in 1842, he explored the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains, ascending in August the highest peak in the Wind River Range. This has since been known as Fremont's Peak. In the following year, he explored Great Salt Lake. In 1845 he led a third expedition to the Pacific, and during the Mexican War was instrumental in securing California for the United States. He led subsequent expeditions westward, was republican candidate for the Presidency in 1856, served during the war, and in 1878-82, was governor of Arizona. He died in 1890. We subjoin his account of the crossing of the South Pass and discovery and ascent of Fremont's Peak.…
