In 1845 it was reprinted by Congress in "Report of the exploring expeditions to the Rocky Mountains in the year 1842, and to Oregon and North California in the years 1843-'44. By Brevet Capt. J.C. Fremont". There have been many abridged unofficial reprints of the latter documents, under different titles.
