Rarely has a character appeared on the American scene of greater color and controversy than John Charles Fremont. Dubbed "The Pathfinder" for having conducted some of the first rigorous scientific explorations of the American west, emigrants used his maps and reports as their guide to Oregon and California. Fremont was instrumental in the military campaigns which secured California for the United States, only to be arrested and court-martialed for mutiny and insubordination. Nominated the young Republican party's first candidate for president, Fremont lost the 1856 election in a bitterly contested campaign. Appointed one of four major-generals at the outbreak of the Civil War, Fremont was placed in command of the Department of the West. Succeeding in holding wavering Missouri for the Union, Lincoln relieved him of his command amid allegations of widespread corruption. Having earned a fortune from his California gold holdings, he was impoverished by railway speculation. Fremont's life was a serious of glorious triumphs and dismal defeats. Through it all, he remained a figure adored by some and despised by others. This short monograph considers the development of the Fremont biography, analyzing works about the life and career of John Charles Fremont in their historical context.

From the Author As a small business owner, successful inventor, and scientist, I reduce theory to practice, I figure out and show how things work, and I apply science to solve real-world problems. I enjoy history about colorful characters doing heroic things - what I capture in my #1 Kindle Best Seller The Biographies of John Charles Fremont. I also like technical writing that engages the mind and shows the simple truths behind complex ideas. History and science intertwine with art and creativity in surprising and fascinating ways to yield remarkable technologies. That's what The Art and Science of Ultrawideband (UWB)Antennas is all about. I also appreciate fiction that shows how ordinary people with extraordinary courage and determination can accomplish remarkable things - the motivation behind my soon-to-be-released debut novel, The Hidden Truth.
From the Inside Flap The 2016 Presidential election features a wide range of Republican contenders. How do they compare to John Charles Fremont, who in 1856 became the very first Republican candidate for President? Adventurer, explorer, military officer, businessman, and U.S. Senator, the current contenders must pool their experience to match Fremont's remarkable resume.
- Like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, and John Kasich, Fremont was a governor. Only he became the military governor of northern California by right of military conquest, not election!
- Like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Rick Santorum, Fremont was a U.S. Senator -one of the first two U.S. Senators selected by the new state of California to represent the state in Washington.
- Like Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina, Fremont was a businessperson. His $10M California gold country holdings were worth the equivalent of perhaps a half billion dollars today, making Fremont, like Trump, one of the wealthiest candidates for president in U.S. history.

And who would have known about Fremont?! I’d never heard of Fremont until this book. Mr. Schantz gives the reader an objective evaluation of all of the biographies written about Fremont. The biography - “Author’s Forward” - of Mr. Schantz’s own discovery and further pursuit of his interest in John Charles Fremont, is itself a reading adventure. Moreover, “The Biographies of John Charles Fremont” invites further readings. One of the biographies in the book is “Dream West” by David Nevin. Mr. Schantz says that its “factual discrepancies…detract from the power of the novel’s presentation”. But that’s just it; I want the power of a novel to bring home to me the biography of John Fremont. So, thanks to Mr. Schantz’s book, I’ve now got “Dream West”. And then there’s the artist that Fremont hired, Edward M. Kern. I’ve found several books from Amazon about this artist. For example, “Edward M. Kern : The Travels of an Artist – Explorer”. In this book are drawings and sketches from Kern’s adventures with Fremont. I’ve even found online maps – beautiful cartography – by Fremont’s first map maker, Charles Preuss. And what else? Well, Mr. Shantz’s volume has led me from writers to artists. And from artists like Kern to other American West artists of the time, such as a closer look into the art of Albert Bierstadt, who was painting the West that Fremont was seeing in his travels. “The Biographies of John Charles Fremont” is a delight to read. It’s like a microscope that enlarges things I’m familiar with, and introduces new things for further study. And It makes me feel that the heroism of Fremont is the norm of the American spirit; that in any walk of life, one can be like Fremont – fight the elements and battle against even big government and win. And to find that Fremont had a wife just as much a heroic individual as her love for him, is inspiring. This book is a superb history of the biographies of the American spirit, of glimpsing a path untraveled, unknown even. Of finding that path, of taking that path against tremendous odds. And of winning through it all. A terrific read. Inspiring and enjoyable.

It brought John C. Fremont to life, and introduced to me a part of American history I knew little about. As an added bonus after reading the book, I was able to answer a "Jeopardy" question--or should I say pose a "Jeopardy" question--"Who was John C. Fremont?"
