About this audiobook
Christopher Carson, or as he was familiarly called, Kit Carson, was a man whose real worth was understood only by those with whom he was associated or who closely studied his character. He was more than a hunter, trapper, guide, Indian agent, and Colonel in the United States Army...His lot was cast on the extreme western frontier, where, when but a youth, he earned the respect of the tough and frequently lawless men with whom he came in contact. Integrity, bravery, loyalty to friends, marvelous quickness in making the right decisions, in a crisis of danger, consummate knowledge of woodcraft, a leadership as skillful as it was daring; all these were distinguishing traits in the composition of Carson and were the foundations of the broader fame which he acquired as the friend and invaluable counselor of Fremont, the Pathfinder, in his expeditions across the Rocky Mountains. This is his story!

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is the outline of a biography of an interesting individual, but without much depth or color. The descriptions of the conditions, people and history of that early 19th century west does make it worth the time to read this short book.
