Synopsis
Excerpt from Kit Carson in California
On his first far western journey, in 1829-30, as a junior member of Ewing Young's band of beaver trappers, Carson traversed that part of Arizona and California now crossed by the Santa Fé Railroad, and was one of the first Americans to cover this entire route. But little is known of Young's first expedition. Practically all we have is the short notice by the veteran fur-hunter, J. J. Warner, who wrote of this, from hearsay (reminiscences of Early California, 1831 to 1846. Hist. Soc. Of Southern Calif. Vol. VII, 1909, pp. 176 and the account which Carson himself has left us.
