AKA the Pathfinder. He was an explorer who lead many expeditions of discovery in the West, noted for approaching western pioneering from the perspective of a surveyor, making accurate maps of his travels and collecting specimens of plant and animal life. He was the first Senator from California, and the first Republican candidate for president, the first to campaign on a very strong anti-slavery platform, losing to James Buchanan. He later served as a Major General for the Union in the Civil War.
