Pathfinder: John Charles Fremont and the Course of American Empire [Audiobook]
Narrated by Douglas R. Pratt The career of John Charles Frmont (1813-90) ties together the full breadth of American expansionism from its 18th-century origins through its culmination in the Gilded Age.

As the most celebrated American explorer and mapper of his time, Frmont stood at the center of the vast federal project of Western exploration and conquest.
