These tales of authentic encounters with Indians and white
adventurers, and of the hazards and hardships that accompanied
anyone who undertook such a long journey in a sparsely populated
country, feature a new introduction by Marc Simmons, a professional
historian, editor, and translator. Illustrations.
Gold had just been discovered in California at the close of the
Mexican War when Kit Carson started east from Los Angeles with
Dispatches. Going with him was Lieutenant George Douglas Brewerton,
who describes their journey over the Old Spanish Trail. It was a
torturous route across deserts and mountains requiring the kind of
expert survival skills that made Kit Carson famous. The scout, who
was carrying the news that would begin the rush for gold, went as
far as Taos, where he was reunited with his wife. From there
Brewerton joined a wagon train that labored over the Santa Fe Trail
to Independence, Missouri. "Overland with Kit Carson" is a colorful
and authentic account of encounters with Indians and white
adventurers and of the hazards and hardships that accompanied
anyone who undertook such a long journey in a sparsely populated
country.
