John Charles Fremont

Most people living in California think of John Fremont as the Army Major who helped to annex California into the Union. Yet, Fremont was a man with many interests, documented by historian and journalism professor Tom Chaffin in his new book, PATHFINDER: John Charles Fremont and the Course of American Empire (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). Tom Chaffin joins host Larry Mantle to discuss the life of John Charles Fremont.
