Title -  John C. Fremont, Officer and Explorer
 
 
 
Description -  John Charles Fremont (January 21, 1813 - July 13, 1890), a military officer, explorer, the first candidate of the Republican Party for the office of president of the U.S., and the first presidential candidate of a major party to run on a platform opposing slavery. During the 1840s, that era's penny press accorded Frémont the sobriquet The Pathfinder.  It remains in use, and he is sometimes called The Great Pathfinder.  During the Civil War he was given command of the armies in the west but made hasty decisions (such as trying to abolish slavery without consulting Washington), and was relieved. He retired to California, where he was bogged down with lawsuits over land claims.
