Synopsis

PREFACE .
•
IT is a prominent object of this volume to bring to
light the wild adventures of the pioneers of this continent,
in the solitudes of the mountains, the prairies and
the forests j often amidst hostile Indians, and far away
from the restraints and protection of civilization. This . .
strange, weird-like life is rapidly passing away, before the
progress of population, railroads and steamboats. But it ,.
is desirable that the memory of it should not drift into oblivion.
I think that almost every reader of this narrative
will be somew~at surprised, in its development of the
character of CHRISTOPHER CARSON. With energy and
fearlessness never surpassed, he was certainly one of the
most gentle, upright, and lovable of men. It is strange
that the wilderness could have formed so estimable a
character. America will not permit the virtues of so i1lus~
trious a son to be forgotten.
JOHN S. C. ABBOTT

Biographie de l'auteur

Christopher Houston "Kit" Carson (December 24, 1809 – May 23, 1868) was an American frontiersman and Indian fighter. Carson left home in rural present-day Missouri at age 16 and became a mountain man and trapper in the West. Carson explored the west to California, and north through the Rocky Mountains. He lived among and married into the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes. He was hired by John C. Fremont as a guide, and led 'the Pathfinder' through much of California, Oregon and the Great Basin area. He achieved national fame through Fremont's accounts of his expeditions. He became the hero of many dime novels.
