Summary

Often portrayed by past historians as an Indian fighter in the West, Kit Carson (1809-68) has become a historical pariah - a brutal murderer who betrayed the Navajos, an unwitting dupe of American expansion, and a racist. He was simply a man of the 19th century whose racial views and actions were like those of his contemporaries.
