Soldier in Buckskin

THE TIME OF THE TRAPPERS

It was a time of legends. A time when brave souls dared to follow their dreams into untamed lands, despite dangers and hardships few could imagine. Of these heroic pioneers, one man stood alone. Frontiersman, fur trapper, Army scout, and trusted friend of the Indian, perhaps no one embodied the adventure and history of the American wilderness more than Kit Carson.

Against the vast backdrop of the Spanish and Mexican Southwest and the Indian nations, this sweeping historical saga paints a vivid portrait of Carson during the most exciting decades of his life—his years as a trapper, when his search for pelts led him ever deeper into the pristine wilderness...and into history.
