Johnson, Kenneth M.
THE FREMONT COURT MARTIAL.
1968 1st Textual illustrations. Los Angeles: Dawson's Book Shop, 1968. First edition, one of 300 copies. Having accepted California's surrender from Andres Pico near Los Angeles in 1846 and assumed the role of military governor of the state, Colonel John Charles Fremont (1813-90), resisted the efforts of General Stephen Watts Kearny to organize a government in California, unaware that Kearny was acting under orders from Washington. Kearny subsequently ordered Fremont arrested and court-martialed for insubordination, which resulted in Fremont's dismissal from the army in 1848. Although the punishment was commuted by President James Polk, Fremont chose to resign anyway. The eighth volume in Dawson's Famous California Trials series. Issued without a dust jacket. A fine copy.
