About this audiobook
Kit Carson was a famous hunter, trapper, mountain man, guide - an American icon. Stories about him abounded in popular contemporary literature, but most was pure fiction. This work is the authorized biography, much of it in his own words. It was first published right around the time of his death. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was a puff piece on Christopher “Kit” Carson read poorly by a hodgepodge of amateurs, some of whom couldn’t properly pronounce regular words (very distracting). Someone of Mr. Carson’s stature deserves better treatment and much more in-depth research.
