Kit Carson
His exploits on the American frontier inspired dozens of dime novels, but the stories told in these wildly popular books belie the complexities of the real Kit Carson, whose life embodies the contradictions that is the story of the American West. An illiterate mountain man, he was fluent in Spanish and five Indian languages; he twice married Native American women, yet led a brutal war against the Navajo. Using rich archival materials, the program shows how Carson helped spur a migration that would change the West forever.
