Kit Carson was a frontiersman, explorer, Indian fighter and a true American hero. This book, Christopher Carson - The Pioneer of the West by John S.C. Abbott tells the story in wonderful detail. Youll meet other well known Americans such as John C. Fremont, but mostly, youll thrill to the adventures of Kit Carson. Carson was a mild mannered man who didnt drink alcohol and never used foul language, but when danger threatened him or any of his companions, he stepped forward without a hint of fear. He grew to manhood in some of the most exciting times the new American nation ever experienced, and was instrumental in extending the boundaries of this new nation from sea to shining sea. This isnt a novel, but the true story of the life of Kit Carson. Once you start reading youll find that this is a book you wont want to put down until the end.
