About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown And Company, 1963. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. 8vo; xiv, 223 pages, tan cloth
Jessie was the daughter of Sen. Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri, a lion of the U. S. Senate. Against his will, she married John Fremont, an impecunious military man. Fremont ended up with astonishing career, becoming ( among many things) "The Pathfinder", and the first candidate of the new Republican Party for President of the United States in 1856 - and Jessie was the woman behind the man, and here is her story. Ruth was a biographer of women who was married to Prof. Randall, the first scholarly biographer of Lincoln. Here she was inspired by using over 300 unpublished letters between the Fremonts.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
