Summary "Life of Kit Carson, the Great Western Hunter and Guide" by Charles Burdett is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the life and adventures of Christopher Carson, known as Kit Carson, highlighting his legendary status as a frontiersman, hunter, guide, and Indian fighter in the American West. The book promises to deliver thrilling tales of Carson’s exploits among various cultures and landscapes, as he navigates the wild territories from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for Kit Carson's extraordinary life, detailing his background, early influences, and the circumstances that shaped his character. From his modest beginnings in Missouri, Carson's transition from a saddler's apprentice to a daring hunter and trapper is vividly illustrated.
