Richard Schaare, 1937, publisher Cupples & Leon Company, is a pictorial biography of William Frederick Cody, known world-wide as 'Buffalo Bill.'

"Moccasin Trail he Story of a Boy Who Took The Trail With Kit Carson", by Reed Fulton, 1931, Junior Books, publisher Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc, is a story of Kit Carson and a boy who rode with him. The Moccasin Trail leading west from St. Louis to Santa Fe is the setting for vivid and thrilling adventures in this story of frontier days, and of Kit Carson who helped to make history on that trail.
