AS SEEN ON TV: JOHN CHARLES FREMONT

As it's been tradition for Toobworld Central to celebrate the TV Western during the summer months, it's our plan to feature an historical Western figure every day in the "As Seen On TV" spotlight.

And to kick things off....
JOHN CHARLES FREMONT
AS SEEN IN:
"Dream West"

AS PLAYED BY:
Richard Chamberlain
John Charles Frémont (January 21, 1813 – July 13, 1890), was an American military officer, explorer, the first candidate of the Republican Party for the office of President of the United States, and the first presidential candidate of a major party to run on a platform in opposition to slavery. During the 1840s, that era's penny press accorded Frémont the sobriquet The Pathfinder, which remains in use, sometimes as "The Great Pathfinder".
