Presented by the Missouri Humanities Speakers Bureau, this is a lecture and power point presentation that explores the brief but tumultuous 100 days that John C. Fremont commanded the Western Department of the Union Army at the outset of the Civil War. These 100 days marked the rise of Ulysses Grant and featured the manumission of two enslaved men – the first test of Congress’s First Confiscation Act.
