"Principally of his frauds in the purchase of horses in 1846 and 1847, while disbursing officer in California." Cowan. "Carelessness, recklessness, favoritism, and connivance with the claimants." That's the verdict on Fremont. The pamphlet examines "the chief dealings of Colonel Fremont as a disbursing officer during the campaign in California whilst he commanded the volunteers" during 1846-1847. Tables, facts, figures are produced and analyzed.
