Summary

Kit Carson: The Life of an American Border Man strikes a balance between prevailing notions about this quintessential western figure. Whereas the dime novelists exploited Carsons popular reputation, Remley reveals that the real man was dependable, ethical, andfor his dayrelatively open-minded. Sifting through the extensive scholarship about Kit, the author illuminates the key dimensions of Carsons life, including his often neglected Scots-Irish heritage.
