In 1842 John C. Frmont led a party of twentyfive men on a fivemonth journey from Saint Louis to the Wind River Range in the Rocky Mountains; his goal: to chart the best route to Oregon. In 1843 Frmont was commissioned for another expedition, to explore the Great Salt Lake, Washington, eastern California, Carson Pass, and the San Joaquin Valley, places that did not yet belong to the United States.His journals from these expeditions, edited in collaboration with his wife, Jessie Benton Frmont, and published by Congress, thrilled the nation and firmly established Frmonts persona as the Great Pathfinder. Part descriptive survey, part rousing adventure story, Frmonts account was far more than a travelers guide. His tales of courage and wit, descriptions of beautiful landscapes, and observations about Native Americans strengthened Americans sense of a national identity and belief in Manifest Destiny. Still a fascinating pageturner today, Frmonts report documents the opening of the West even as it offers a firsthand look at the making of the American myth.Anne F. Hyde provides an introduction to this signature American story that contextualizes the report, outlines Frmonts rise and fall, and shows how, for better or worse, this explorer exemplifies the nineteenthcentury American spirit.
