In 1826 an undersized sixteen-year-old apprentice ran away
from a saddle maker in Franklin, Missouri, to join one of
the first wagon trains crossing the prairie on the Santa
Fe Trail. Kit Carson wanted to be a mountain man, and he
spent his next sixteen years learning the paths of the
West, the ways of its Native inhabitants, and the habits
of the beaver, becoming the most successful and respected
fur trapper of his time. He lived among and married into
the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes. He was hired by John C.
Fremont as a guide, and led 'the Pathfinder' through much
of California, Oregon and the Great Basin area.
