ultimately, he fired general fremont. fremont was still very famous, was a big deal in the republican party so lincoln gave him a second assignment as a general in another part of the country where he quickly lost a battle. he turned up to be a brilliant explore and self promoter but not a a very good general at a. and he was sidelined again. in 1864, so this was lincoln's reelection, john charles fremont allowed himself to be put forward as a candidate against abraham lincoln as a more radical version of abraham lincoln. ultimately, he backed off but not until about september of 1864. there was a danger had he stayed in the race that he might have split the republican vote and cost abraham lincoln to lose reelection. i think this is part of the reason that the fremonts are not as well known today as they might be. because nobody has ever gone up against a ramp lincoln and fared well in history. i mean think about the people jefferson davis, not really well-regarded. you know, lincoln-douglas, you kind of vaguely remember

he made it clear to fremont he wanted fremont himself to withdraw the order. fremont being in many ways a persistent guy, which is a good thing, but also a stubborn guy, which can be bad, same quality, depends on the circumstance, refused lincoln's order, and this went on for weeks and weeks. and lincoln repeated what he wanted done. and finally, john agreed to send jessie back to washington to set abraham lincoln straight. she gets on a train, goes back to washington, she checks into a hotel or whatever, and she sends a note over to the white house saying she would like to see the president, is any time convenient for you? and a letter comes back from lincoln or a note comes back from lincoln, it's got one word, the single word is no. she goes over. no. and she starts talking to lincoln who has very little to say, and she explains why the freeing of the slaves is really good, and it is going to help them keep control of missouri, and it is going to play really well in europe, and lincoln finally says you are quite a female politician. this is according to a l

jessie benton fremont, his wife. born when women weren't allowed to make their way themselves, she made her own course. the daughter of a senator deeply in the west, she provided her previously unknown husband to highest levels. government and media. no coincidence that his career began to soar when they eloped, she was 17. i thought that jessie benton fremont was the better man of the two. she helped to write his famous reports and some of his letters serving as secretary, editor, writing partner and occasional ghost writer. she amplified his talent for self-promotion, working with news editors to publish his journey. she became his political advisor, and she attracted men to his circles and cared for friends and lashed out at enemies. and she had conversations with men twice her age and was gradually recognized as a political force in her own right. her timing was as perfect as her husband's. she was pushing the boundaries of women's roles, and women were holding conventions for voting rights and campaigning agains

ultimately he fired general fremont. he was still very famous it was a big deal on the republican party so he gave me a second assignment as a general in another part of the country where he quickly lost a battle and turned out to be a brilliant explorer but not a very good general. and he was sidelined again. in 1864, lincoln's reelection fremont allowed himself to be put forward as a candidate against abraham lincoln a more radical version. ultimately he backed off but not until september of 1864 there was a danger had he stayed in the race he may have split the republican vote causing lincoln to lose reelection. i think this is part of the reason the fremont's are not as well known today as they might be nobody has ever gone up against lincoln and fared well in history think of jefferson davis not really well. [laughter] lincoln douglas you kind of remember douglas but not nearly as much as lincoln and the fremont's were also diminished by that experience but it is a fascinating story and it is really amazing if you c

fremont was vomiting again as were others, the double under fremont's outward message to try to reach the summit. jenny said run barometer which i could use to measure the altitude of the mountains. not being idiot, he refused. he refused to go on and went back to camp and he assumed, that this meant that the effort to reach the summit was done. in camps, he mentioned that anna bring up a little benefit so they so they had the first meal in nearly two days and they had a night sleep and price book in the morning expecting that everyone would descend mountain. they discovered otherwise. john reminded him that they had brought along a bottle of brandy. well mr. price, i hope we shall after all into glass on top of the mountain. that was a sick in the hundredweight for him to say he kept are intended to keep climbing and fremont took extraordinary risks. well beyond what seemed necessary for mission at hand. and gain certain rewards and individually they did reach the top of the mountain and they planted an american flag, and john and it been a brilliant public relations looking around t

but i'm thinking this is the world of fremont. [laughter] for better or for worse and to seize any opportunity to get here and delighted to research the book it would give me excuse to do some research in and around san francisco. the story of the marriage and they are ambitions and adventures when the united states was deeply divided and in danger of coming apart. teethree refers to when some had outlawed slavery and others embraced it it also refers to the marriage of the very unusual couple who strove to accomplish and achieve all that they could in that very divisive time and they played a vital role. john charles fremont was and explore, man who the 18 forties and fifties with a series of expeditions started in st. louis missouri the city that has no consequence as a us army officer women to maps the oregon trail and went out route one - - west again and again and ended up by chance in california to be intrigued and then with the mexican control territory to begin the process and to make it a part of the united states. >> as

fremont. fremont had been the first nominee for the republicans in 1856. no one expected him to win. he was just famous by campaigning. so fremont is the first republican nominee. then when the republicans take power, he's very well politically connected, and he's appointed to command the military district out in the west. out there he decides to issue a proclamation on his own without consulting with lincoln. freeing slaves of confederates. now keep in mind the timing of this. this is in 1861. lincoln is worried about the border states. kentucky and missouri that have slaves but had not threleft the union, but keeping them in the union. he doesn't want to move too fast on slavery. at this point slavery is not -- ending slavery is not a union war game. it's not part of the war yet. at least officially. lincoln asks fremont to rescind his proclamation. fremont says no. lincoln asks him again. fremont says no. so finally lincoln removes fremont from command and revokes the proclamation. now we talked about that balancing act with the constitution and slavery

fremont says no. lincoln asks him again. fremont says no. finally lincoln removes fremont from command and revokes the proclamation. we talked about that balancing act with the constitution and slavery. there is also a political balancing act he has. on one hand he is trying to keep the border states in the union. he is trying to pacify and keep happy democrats and moderate, conservative republicans, but radical republicans, abolitionist are aghast at what he does undoing that proclamation. one of them is an old friend in illinois, oh browning who wrote to lincoln complaining about what he had done regarding fremont. lincoln writes back a lengthy letter explaining why he did it. we will take a look at a few different sections of this letter because they are interesting for both understanding lincoln and the constitution, how he views his role as president and it puts later actions in interesting light. midway through he says the same is true of slaves. if the general needs them, he can use them but when the need is not for him to fix their p

they're still diverting traffic off at fremont and in that area, fremont street, and around the crime scene. a chp spokesperson told us they couldn't even confirm how many people were injured in this apparent shooting, anywhere from one to three people from what we can determine. another person drove to san francisco general emergency entrance about the same time as our photographer was arriving on the scene of the shooting at fremont and admitted themselves with a gunshot wound but that chp spokesman was unable to tell us if those two incidents are related. he said they could have more details later on this morning, but as we toss back to you, marcus and laura, i can tell you that traffic still appears to be backed up. we can see as the fog breaks behind me, the bay bridge still backed up as mike was just talking about, just creeping into the city as people are being diverted off i-80 westbound. still five and a half hours, at least five hours after the shooting occurred. we're live in san francisco, thom jensen, "today in the bay." >>> all right, thanks for the very latest live from
