Only reason I think of Fremont is he is all over California . Things are named for him everywhere. He sort of "got lost" leaving and wandered around . Good thing he had Kit Carson with him. Then too he was in just the right place when the Bear Flag Revolt started .

Fremont also lends his name to one of the main drags in Las Vegas, NV...Fremont Street. I guess he was pretty much all over the place in the mountain west region.
True confession here. I tend to follow more closely the generals, campaigns and battles that impacted areas where I have lived or visited. That's why I haven't read so much about Fremont. It is mostly a lack of time to do him justice. It certainly isn't because I don't think he is worth my time. As you know, Susan, so many books--so little time.
