A good historical book on Kit Carson is "Blood and Thunder" by Hampton Sides. It
gives a lot of family information as well as frontier and military experiences. Another
book that talks about Kit Carson (but he isn't the focus of it) is "Empire of the
Summer Moon" by S.C. Gwynne. It centers more on the Comanches and the other tribes of
the Plains...but, of course, Kit Carson was interacting with many of these tribes during
that time period.
