Description
Featured in this lot is this 1899 copy of "The Life of Kit Carson: Hunter, Trapper, Guide, Indian Agent, and Colonel U.S.A." by Edward S. Ellis. Christopher Carson (1809 – 1868), or as he was commonly called, Kit Carson, was more than a hunter, trapper, guide, Indian agent, and Colonel in the United States Army. He possessed those mental and moral qualities which would have made him prominent in whatever pursuit or profession he engaged. Carson became a frontier legend in his own lifetime via biographies and news articles. Exaggerated versions of his exploits were the subject of dime novels. Kit Carson left home in Missouri at age 16 to become an American frontiersman, mountain man, and trapper in the West. The condition of this book is good, with wear and foxing consistent for the age of the book. The measurements of this book are 7 3/8" x 5" x 1 3/8".
