Description

From the Publisher: 

“Along with her husband John Fremont, she was passionate about abolition and together their efforts assured California’s admission to the Union as a free state.

She was presented at court in both England and France, lived in pioneer tents during the Gold Rush era, had audiences with Lincoln, and acted as army nurse during the Civil War.”

Her story is written for young people by another dynamic woman, Marguerite Higgins, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author who covered WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
