Description: This 1944 edition of "Immortal Wife" is a biographical novel written by Irving Stone about Jessie Benton Fremont. The hardcover book is an original 1st edition published by Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. in New York. It covers the life of Jessie Benton Fremont.Jessie Benton Frémont was a predecessor of the modern political spouse. More than a century and a half ago, she walked into the center of a bitter presidential campaign—cheered by crowds, mocked by critics, held up as a symbol of what was right and wrong with America.Her appeal was apparent from the moment her husband was nominated for president in 1856. When John Charles Frémont became the first-ever presidential nominee of the newly founded Republican Party, Republicans organized a torchlight procession to the Frémont house in New York City. Thousands of men elbowed for space as they shouted for their candidate to emerge onto his iron balcony. The nominee stepped out and gave a short speech, but after he withdrew, the crowd wanted more. “Mrs. Frémont!” someone cried, then others took up the refrain. “Madam Frémont! Jessie! Jessie! Give us Jessie!”General statement for all of my media mail (books) listings: Happy to combine shipping for shipping discounts. Add multiple listing to the cart and request invoice before paying.
