Kit Carson and the 19th Century American West:A Legendary Journey of Exploration
Narrative historian Hampton Sides shares his insights into the life and times of the legendary, controversial Kit Carson, the 19th century trapper, explorer, soldier, pioneer, and Zelig of the American West. Enveloped in mythology, Carson’s epic life story provides an archetype of the clashing cultures and values that defined the 19th century American West—while giving the literature of Manifest Destiny a saga that still resonates today.
