Book Description
As an explorer, John Charles Frémont led five expeditions into the American West--two of them disastrous. He was also one of California’s first two senators (1850), America’s first Republican candidate for president (1856), a Civil War general, and the territorial governor of Arizona (1878-83). But his life was one of rash and rebellious conduct against authority. During the Mexican War he claimed to be the military governor of California, which resulted in a court-martial in 1848. At the outbreak of the Civil War he reentered the army as one of four major generals, outranking even Ulysses S. Grant. However, when he antagonized President Abraham Lincoln by issuing his own emancipation proclamation in advance of the president’s, Lincoln relieved him of command. In this comprehensive biography, Andrew Rolle carefully examines the historical record with a psychobiographical approach that explores and explains the many irrationalities of Frémont’s character.

Book Description
Floyd offers his views on John C. Fremont, Republican candidate for President in 1856. Writes that he never interviewed Fremont, and Fremont never expressed any censure for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Of Fremont, writes, I never had [any] interview with Fremont... I never made any offer to him of any thing for myself or for others. He never expressed any censure for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in my hearing... I never saw him until I met him in N York and after a short acquaintance considered him a very light metal... & extremely ill informed upon all political subjects. I broke off all communication with him on political subjects because I saw that the influences which governed him were Abolition.
