His main mission for the first expedition was to survey the Wind River of the Rockies, the Oregon Trail in the Rockies' South Pass, and the lands in Wyoming. During his second expedition, Fremont explored other western regions and visited places such as the Great Salt Lake, the Snake River, the Columbia River, the Cascades, Mount St. Helens, Mt. Hood, the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe, the American River, and Sutter's Fort in present-day Sacramento, California.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover
