Description: Fremont, The West's Greatest Adventurer, Being a Biography from Certain Hitherto Unpublished Sources of General John C. Fremont Together with His Wife, Jessie Benton Fremont by Allan Nevins. Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York, 1928. Hardcover. First edition stated. No DJ. Two Volume set. From the Preface: "This is an attempt at an honest and impartial biography of a man who has been the subject of excessive laudation and excessive detraction. I have tried to base it throughout upon original sources, many of which have never previously been used. Though the aid given me by the Fremont family has been invaluable, this is in no sense a family biography; it was entirely planned, and in great part written before I obtained the assistance of General Fremont's heirs, and all its main judgments had been independently formed. I have tried to attain strict accuracy in dealing with each phase of one of the strangest and most romantic careers in American history. 344 and 394 pages including an index. Illustrated with b/w drawings and photos. The lettering on the spines has faded a bit on both volumes. Old owner bookplates in both volumes. Light pencil imprint on Vol 1 top right corner. Otherwise, a clean and nice set. Sold together only. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
