Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of Colonel Fremont During this survey General Jackson was President of the United States. It was not an uncommon thing for Old Hickory (as he was familiarly called by the people), on hearing of any meritorious deed performed by a young man, to offer him a commission in the army. The fame of Fremont had reached him; and the consequence was the tender of a commission to the young South Carolinian, which was accepted. This commission was in the corps of Topographical Engineers - a scientific corps, and that which holds the highest rank in the American army. Fremont justly considered it a great honour to be chosen to this arm of the service, the more so as the road to it usually lies through the Military College of 'vest Point. It was, then, a high tribute to his merits to be thus appointed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
