About this ebook
The New York Times–bestselling fictional account of explorer John Charles Frémont, “written with verve, authenticity, and a sure sense of our history” (John Jakes).
Upon its release in 1983, Dream West was deemed a classic novel of the American West by both critics and the reading public. Telling the amazing true story of America’s famed explorer, John Charles Frémont, and his beloved supporter and muse, Jessie Benton, it quickly found its way onto the New York Times bestsellers list and was adapted into a CBS miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain.
Now available as an ebook, Nevin’s epic of adventure and discovery will once again give readers a chance to witness the passion of an early explorer’s dreams of the great unknown, and the love and perseverance that saw his dream come to life.
