My I am person is John C. Fremont. I did not know much about him before my research I made about him. One thing that I knew was that he was an explorer who found the western part of America. Another thing that I knew about him was that he was the first person ever to climb the Rocky Mountains. He also served as a lieutenant in a war. I did not know which war he was a lieutenant in, but knew he was in one. While doing research, I had quite a bit of questions. My first question was why did he get expelled, but still got a degree by the officials? Another question that I had was why didn't he just stay teaching math rather than risk his life? But I noticed those were answerable.

Why is Lewis and Clark so famous compared to the unknown John C. Fremont?**
