Description: JESSIE BENTON FREMONT, the heroine of this biographical novel, was one of the most fascinating ladies of nineteenth-century America. At sixteen she fell in love with and married John Charles Fremont, a young Army man who mapped and explored our Far West. Together they faced two court-martials, amassed and lost a huge fortune, and worked for his election as President of the United States. Immortal Wife has climbed to the top of the best seller lists and stayed there. But Irving Stone is accustomed to such success. His Lust for Life, Sailor on Horseback, Clarence Darrow for the Defence, and They Also Ran all were immensely popular and have made him one of the top-notch biographers in the country. His writing life is close to ideal: he does most of his research in New York and Washington and then retires to his beautiful California ranch to write the book. Between times, he is an editor on postwar reconstruction at the Research Institute of America. This special edition of IMMORTAL WIFE by Irving Stone has been made avail-able to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Doubleday, Doran and Co., Inc., New York.
