Review
"The most comprehensive account [of Kit Carson] to date. . . . Well-written, enhanced by more than a score of maps and well-chosen illustrations."-Marvin E. Kroeker, "American Indian Quarterly,"
""Kit Carson: A Pattern for Heroes" should become the standard biography for the next generation, with broad appeal to enthusiasts of the fur trade, exploration, the Mexican War, Indian-white relations, the Civil War in the West, and western biography."-David J. Weber, "Colorado Heritage,"
"Reads like an exciting adventure story. [Carson's] success as a trapper and army campaigner made him a national hero, famed as the best guide in the West and an expert on Indians. The authors show how Carson gradually evolved from antagonist to friend of the Indian in this entertaining book."-"American West"
"His portrait of Carson--Mountain Man, scout, soldier, Indian agent, hunter and sure-footed explorer--is that of a determined man who was undeterred by hardship; brave, but should the occasion call for it, cautious.. Moody is meticulous in detailing Carson's professional experiences and his military activities."--J.C. Martin, "Southwest Book Views"
"More than a colorful scout and backwoods adventurer, he was the epitome of the American frontiersman."--Dale L. Walker, "American Cowboy"
