	Fremont Pass (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is not to be confused with Fremont Pass (Colorado).
		The steep pass was made easier for stagecoach traffic with a 30-foot deep cut made by Phineas Banning in 1854 as part of a road he built to provide service to Fort Tejon.
		Fremont Pass remains a main traffic route, as Interstate 5 (Golden State Freeway and California State Route 14 (Antelope Valley Freeway), as well as Sierra Highway, Foothill Boulevard, and San Fernando Road travel through the pass, and the Southern Pacific Railroad goes through the area via a tunnel.

	[No title]
		Col. Fremont's former extraordinary explorations, his astronomical and geographical contributions to the useful sciences, and his successful pursuit of them under difficulties, had deeply interested me, and aided in forming for him, in my mind, the beau ideal of all that was chivalrous and noble.
		Fremont, whose great heart beats in sympathy for the suffering of his fellow men, made him follow to camp, and although he knew that this man would be an incubus upon the party fromn his inability to walk, allowed him to accompany the expedition, and supplied him with a part of his own wardrobe.
		Fremont without apparently noticing my nervous state, remarked that he knew the Indian character perfeetly, and he did not hesitate to state, that there was not sufficient powder to load a single rifle in the possession of the whole tribe of Utahs.

	THE ORIGINS OF THE FREMONT EXPEDITIONS: JOHN J. ABERT AND THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION OF THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI WEST. - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Likewise captivated by the allure and evident intrigue surrounding the Fremont journeys, historians typically have stressed the relationship between "exploration and empire" in planning for the young lieutenant's missions.(2) Relying largely on Fremont family accounts, Fremont's explorations are usually depicted in terms of the Manifest Destiny of westward expansion espoused by Senator Benton.
		While Fremont's exploits garnered public acclaim, the foundation for his success was laid by Secretary of War Joel R. Poinsett, Topographical Corps Chief Colonel John J. Abert, and the French scientist Joseph Nicollet, who had led previous expeditions and trained the young Fremont.
		Fremont was hastily appointed to succeed him, but the drama of Fremont's adventures could hardly compensate for the loss of this trained scientist.

		Fremont announced to Benton that he had defeated De la Torre, driven him across the bay, spiked the guns of the fort, and had freed from all Mexican authority the territory north of the bay of San Francisco from the sea to Sutter' s fort.
		Fremont was defended by his father-in-law, who, being allowed free range by the court, insisted on trying Kearny for his alleged misdeeds in California and for his persecution of Fremont.
		Fremont had the peculiar advantage of having no political record to contend with, and it was thought that his nomination would insure at least the neutrality if not the active support of Thomas H. Benton and his friends in the west.

	E-Adventure - Land - Treasure Hunting - Beale's Cut - Treasure Hunting A Pioneer Passage
		The pass was first used in August of 1769 by Don Gaspar de Portola who was looking for a route to the north to follow out the orders of King Charles III of Spain, which were to colonize Alta California.
		Soon the name Fremont's Pass was forgotten and San Fernando Pass was again adopted, but the slot in the sandstone mountain will forever be known as Beale's Cut.
		A tunnel replaced the use of the pass in 1910 and that in turn was made obsolete by the building of four lane highways in 1939.

	deseretnews.com \| Havili rambles past pass-happy Fremont
		After Hancock connected with Trevor Higley for his state-record 39th touchdown pass of the season, cutting the deficit to 21-13 with 7:38 remaining, Havili took the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown.
		Fremont's gun-slinging quarterback entered the game with more than 3,200 passing yards and 37 touchdowns, but the Colts successfully kept him off-balance all night by bringing pressure on virtually every play.
		Fremont was hoping to build on that momentum in the second half, but its opening drive stalled when a shotgun snap soared over Hancock's head, ultimately leading to a punt.

		Seeking a pass he kept on southward, up the eastern branch of Walker river, and then turned northwest to regain the Truckee, but came, instead, to the Carson, being obliged to abandon a brass howitzer he had brought thus far, and which was found years later somewhere between Genoa and Aurora.
		Passing up the San Joaquin he crossed the Tehachapi pass, Mojave desert, the great basin, and reached Utah lake May 24th, and the Missouri river at the end of July.
		Crossing into San Joaquin valley by the Pacheco pass, Frémont proceeded to the Sacramento and on March 21st was at Sutter's fort, and on the 30th at Peter Lassen's rancho on Deer creek.

		South Pass was perhaps the most important landmark along the emigrant trails.
		South Pass dictated the location of the emigrant trail, for only via its gradual ascent was wagon travel over the Continental Divide practical for large-scale emigration.
		South Pass is the wide, flat summit of a long and gradually ascending plateau, with low ridges and hills on both sides and a wide sage and grass-covered saddle between.

	Fremont Route
		By comparing my virtual sun with the measurements that Fremont recorded, I found his measured altitude of the sun (lower limb--12 double altitudes ranging from 70 02 35 to 70 04 45) to be correct at 35° 02' 22".
		The top of a flat ridge near was bare of snow, and very well sprinkled with bunch-grass, sufficient to pasture the animals two or three days; and this was to be their main point of support.
		Frémont's determination of latitude at noon on the 19th was 38° 41" 51", the line of which approximates the modern highway at Carson Pass.

	Floodgap Roadgap -- Old Highway 395, Part 6: San Bernardino County (San Bernardino to Modern US 395)
		The Cajon Pass (4,259') is an inestimably important link between the central portion of the state and the southern.
		However, Fremont was actually looking for Joseph Walker's pass over the Sierra Nevada mountain range (which is traversed today by modern CA 178), and by a serious miscalculation ended up crossing over a hundred miles too far south.
		The pass Fremont encountered instead was surprisingly wide, and still believing it was Walker's, Fremont reported how wonderful the pass was to his superiors and even perspicaciously predicted it would be optimal for railroads (which do cross it today in major quantity).

	Carson Pass Discovered
		It was then called the "East Pass of the Carson Route," or the "First Pass," as there was a second, and higher, pass to cross just few miles west, until a road was built around the Carson Spur in later decades.
		Towards a pass which the guide [Mélo] indicated here, we attempted to force a road; but after a laborious plunging through two or three hundred yards, our best horses gave out, entirely refusing to make any further effort, and, for the time, we were brought to a stand.
		After arriving at their at their advance camp (Long Camp--within 2 1/2 miles from the PASS) on February 10th, he and Jacob Dodson crossed the pass, and made a 2-day exploration ahead to find a route of descent.
