About this ebook
Overland with Kit Carson is a colorful and authentic account of encounters with Indians and white adventurers and of the hazards and hardships that accompanied anyone who undertook such a long journey in a sparsely populated country.
“Of prime importance to many general readers as well as to historians will be Brewerton’s intimate and concrete pictures of Kit Carson.”—Southwest Review.
George Douglas Brewerton
GEORGE DOUGLAS BREWERTON (1820-1901) was a pioneering New Mexican sketch artist and painter, poet, journalist and historian. He was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1820, the son of Henry Brewerton, a career engineering officer in the United States Army who served as the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy and then as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Brewerton trained as a solider at West Point and crossed from California to New Mexico Territory in 1848 as part of the Army attachment accompanying Kit Carson. Brewerton’s Southwest oil paintings were some of the first landscapes of this territory exhibited in New York. His poem and book titles include: Fitz Poodle at Newport: An Incident of the Season (1869); A Ride with Kit Carson through the Great American Desert and the Rocky Mountains (1853); The War in Kansas (1856); Wars of the Western Border; or, New Homes and a Strange People (1857); In the Buffalo Country (1862); Ida Lewis, the Heroine of Lime Rock (1869); and In the Buffalo Country (1870). Brewerton died in Fordham, New York in 1901.
