 THE
NARRATIVE OF FRÉMONT'S REPORTS
ONLINE
Smucker, Samuel M, A. M.,
The Life of Col. John Charles Frémont and
His Narrative of Explorations and Adventures in Kansas,
Nebraska, Oregon and California,
Miller, Orton & Mulligan, New York, 1856.
This contains all or the narrative of the official
government Reports of Frémont's 1st (1842) and 2nd
(1843-44) expeditions.
It is searchable, and is editable text!
Entire text now available
online.
Some of the books below are also now
available online.
Some are searchable. I will add additional links as I
find them.
Those books that I would not be without
 John
Charles Frémont's writings:
Frémont, J.C., Lieutenant, A Report on
an Exploration of the Country Lying Between the Missouri
River and the Rocky Mountains, on the Line of the Kansas
and Great Platte Rivers, Senate Document 243,
Washington, 1843. Contains the 1843 Frémont/Preuss
map.
Frémont, Brevet Captain J. C., Report of The
Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the Year
1842, and to Oregon and North California in the Years
1843-'44, Printed by order of the Senate of the
United States (Senate Document No. 174), Gales and
Seaton, Washington, 1845. Contains the 1845
Frémont/Preuss map.
Also the same printed for the House of
Representatives (House Document No. 166) by Blair &
Rives, Washington, 1845.
See Commercial Editions of Frémont's Report
1845 to Present.
Frémont, John Charles, Geographical Memoir Upon
Upper California, Senate. 30th Congress, Misc.
No.148, Wendell and Van Benthuysen, Washington, 1848.
Contains the 1848 Frémont/Preuss map.
|
 Note:
These first four are the actual reports
published by the Congress of the United States.
In addition to the narrative, they have the very
great  advantage
of containing not only the original drawings by
Charles Preuss, and the plates of plants and
fossils, but also the tables of Astronomical
Observations and Tables of Latitude and
Longitude, Meteorological Observations and
Barometric Register, and Tables of Distances
Traveled. These items account for half the total
pages of the reports, and are not included in
the commercial editions.
The tables are also included in the Senate
(only) 1848 edition of the Geographical
Memoir--the only report from the third
expedition 1845-46.
The Gold medal
of the Royal Geographical Society, and the
Prussian Orden Pour le Mérite für
Wissenschaften und Künste personally
presented to Frémont by Baron von
Humboldt in 1850.
