Gen. John Fremont

Does anyone have a colorized photo of General John Fremont?

The reason I ask is because Fremont became famously known as the "Great Pathfinder."

Haven't seen one but then I don't get around much anymore.

I always think of Fremont in relation to his western journeys and escapades and not in any CW capacity. Lot's of stuff named after him out West.

Counties, cities, etc. and the Fremont Cannon!
The Fremont Cannon is the trophy awarded to the winner of the Battle for Nevada, an American college footballrivalry game played annually by the Nevada Wolf Pack footballteam of the University of Nevada, Reno (Nevada) and the UNLV Rebels football team of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The trophy was built in 1970 and is a replica of a 19th-century Howitzer cannon that accompanied American explorer and politician John C. Frémont on an expedition to Nevada in the mid 19th century. Originally fired following atouchdown by the team in possession of the cannon, it has been inoperable since 1999. The wooden carriage is painted the school color of the team in possession, navy blue for Nevada or scarlet for UNLV. The trophy is the heaviest and most expensive in college football.

Wouldn't you prefer a colorized photo of Gen. Kearny instead?

Actually I would like both of them.

That wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
