| Camp Carson, Colorado - [S3] From Book, Page 57: Named for Christopher Carson, popularly known as "Kit" Carson who was born in Kentucky on December 14, 1800. AT the age of seventeen he joined an Ex- pedition going down the old Santa Fe Trail; there- after his life was spent on the frontier. He join ed John C. Fremont in 1842 and was of great service to him in exploring the Rocky Mountain region, and in conquering California in 1847. Later he was United States Indian Agent in New Mexico and did admirable service. In the War Between the States he was an efficient officer of the Federal Army and was made Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers. He was twice married, first to an Indiana and second to a Spaniard. He has been made the subject of many tales and ballads, largely imaginary, but his actual adventures were more romantic than any fic- tion. He died on May 23, 1868. |
