Featured in this lot is this original, first edition copy of "The Life of Kit Carson: Hunter, Trapper, Guide, Indian Agent, and Colonel U.S.A." by Edward S. Ellis, The Mershon Company publishers and copyrighted by The American News Company in 1889. Christopher Carson (1809 – 1868), or as he was commonly called, Kit Carson, was more than a hunter, trapper, guide, Indian agent, and Colonel in the United States Army. He possessed those mental and moral qualities which would have made him prominent in whatever pursuit or profession he engaged. Carson became a frontier legend in his own lifetime via biographies and news articles. Exaggerated versions of his exploits were the subject of dime novels. Kit Carson left home in Missouri at age 16 to become an American frontiersman, mountain man, and trapper in the West. The tan coloured gold gilt illustrated hardcover is in good overall condition, features illustrations on front cover and spine, with fading consistent for the age of the book. Intact pages exhibit age tanning. The measurements of this book are 5.25"W x 7.5"L x 1.25"D, weight is 12oz.
