"Upon its release over twenty years ago, 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 Fremont, and his beloved supporter and muse, Jessie Benton, it quickly found its way onto the New York Times bestseller list and was adapted into a CBS mini-series starring Richard Chamberlain. Now available once more in paperback, 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. Together, the Fremonts defied both nature and man, trailblazing across the Rockies to the Pacific to accomplish what no one ever thought possible: mapping the American West." -- Provided by publisher.
