DID YOU KNOW:
Kit Carson was not only an American frontiersman, U.S. Army officer, and wilderness guide, but also a pioneer in the field of trapping literature. He wrote dime novels of his explorations and published reports in newspapers and journals, even assisting with government documents.

Hats off to Mr. Carson for paving the way for trapping literature and publications.
