Kit Carson

Comments Off on Kit Carson

Kit Carson, born Christopher Houston “Kit” Carson on December 24, 1809, in Kentucky (though he was raised in Missouri), is one of the most iconic figures in American frontier history. Here are some key points about his life:

  1. Trapper and Guide: Kit Carson began his career as a trapper and hunter for fur companies. He became a legendary mountain man and guide for expeditions through the Rocky Mountains, earning respect for his survival skills and knowledge of the land.

  2. Indian Wars and Military Service: In the 1840s and 1850s, Carson served in several military campaigns during conflicts with Native American tribes. His work as an Indian agent and later as a brigadier general during the Mexican-American War brought him both fame and controversy.

  3. Civil War Role: During the American Civil War, Carson fought for the Union forces, commanding troops in New Mexico Territory and playing a significant role in battles against Confederate forces.

  4. Exploration and Expansion: He accompanied John C. FrΓ©mont on several expeditions that mapped large parts of the western United States, contributing to westward expansion.

  5. Death and Legacy: Kit Carson died on May 23, 1868, at Fort Lyon, Colorado. His life has been romanticized in books and film, often emphasizing his skills as a frontiersman and explorer but sometimes glossing over the complex impact of his actions on Native American communities.
