Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life: Explorations and Public Services of John Charles Fremont The second and third chapters of this work, embracing the period covered by the first two expeditions, have substantially the value and authority of an autobiography. Fremont tells his own story, in passages extracted from his Reports. This part of the volume gives, with the accompanying illustrations, a perfectly authentic account - as good as can be found - of the interior of the North American continent, its great features, and the races that occupy it. The Rocky Mountains, the parallel range of the Sierra Nevada, with the Basin - so full of strange interest, and not yet wholly made known to geography - between them; and the Pacific regions, are here described, in his own fresh and effective style, by their explorer.
