Back Jacket

The account-as modest and undemonstrative as Carson's feats were remarkable-covers his life as a trapper, Indian fighter, guide, and buffalo hunter up to the fall of 1856. Among the high spots during these years were his trapping expeditions to California with the Ewing Young (1829-1831).
