To General John C. Fremont
My Dear Sir:
While any American might be proud of associating his name with
that of one who has done so much to increase the renown of his
country, and to enlarge the sum of human knowledge, this book
is dedicated to you as a slight testimonial of regard for your
personal character, and in grateful recollection of acts of friendship.
Yours very truly,
A. G. Mackey.
