1912. Being the adventures, in the years 1842-43-44, on trail over
mountains and through deserts from the East of the Rockies to the
West of the Sierras, of Scout Christopher Carson and Lieutenant
John Charles Fremont, leading their brave company including the boy
Oliver. Sabin proudly points out that he rooted the narrative in
the journals of exploring expeditions commanded by Fremont and
advised by Kit Carson as transmitted by the Secretary of War to the
Senate and House and published as government documents. Sabin
emphasized that Oliver Wiggins, one of his characters, is real.
Sabin said he had talked with Wiggins and he was the little boy
under the wagon, and he was the Taos lad who won the Kit Carson
rifle; he was upon the Fremont and Carson First Expedition, and he
was upon the Second Expedition by way of the Salt Lake to Fort
Hall. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
