Fremont's fascinating excursions, vivid and informative text

Reviewed by THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW. Oct.,1999.John Charles Fremont was one of the best known of the 19th century explorers of the American western frontier. He tracked his course with the aid of stars and planets. In preparing this first volume of his "Fremont's Greatest Western Exploration" series, John Stewart followed Fremont's course using modern highway and aviation maps. In doing so, Stewart went beyond what library bound researchers and historians could offer because of his own considerable expertise in using concepts of navigation to track Fremont's path in detail. Stewart combines his navigational expertise and love of history with a distinctive flair for writing and communicating Fremont's fascinating excursions with a vivid and informative text that will engage the interest of the history buff, and have much with which to commend itself to the historian and scholar as well.
