EDITORS COMMENTS
Col. John C. Fremont, the intrepid explorer and Republican presidential contender of 1856, is depicted in this powerful woodcut image as he plants the American standard atop a Rocky Mountain peak. Dressed in the attire of a seasoned frontiersman, Fremont dons fringed trousers, a military coat, and waves a visored cap in triumphant victory. Accompanying him on this historic moment are a bearded trapper or fellow explorer, and a Mexican figure in a wide-brimmed hat, symbolizing the diverse population of the American West. An eagle soars majestically above them, embodying the spirit of freedom and the strength of the nation. This evocative scene is a testament to Fremont's legendary expeditions to the Rocky Mountains in 1842 and 1843, and serves as a powerful campaign image for his presidential bid. With its dynamic composition and heroic tone, this woodcut captures the essence of Fremont's adventurous spirit and his commitment to the expansion of American territory and values.
