Reviews
"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., "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, "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, "Kit Carson: A Pattern for Heroesshould 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.

Synopsis
Kit Carson was shown on the cover of an old dime novel slaying six Indians with one hand while protecting a fair maiden with the other. Stories about him, mainly apocryphal, circulated well before his death in 1868 and have been handed down in a multitude of biographies. Now Harvey L. Carter joins with Thelma S. Guild to present the fullest, most authoritative biography of Kit Carson ever written. Carefully separating myth from fact, the authors draw on a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, including private letters. Their scrupulous restoration of Kit Carson in his geographical and historical setting proves that scholarship can have entertaining results: Kit Carson: A Pattern for Heroes is a cracking good adventure story.

In addition, despite errors on my end, as buyer, I received prompt, friendly, professional and timely customer service from the seller, rectifying my error without complaint or taking advantage of me! 10 out of 10 stars!03 2003 Lexus ES 300/ES300 Owners Manual With Case and Inserts (#255827555349)
- y***9 (41)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGot the parts and finally got around to installing them today. One of them is broken out of the box and they are not exactly the correct color but I thought they were the correct color when i ordered they were described as grey but not. I have included 2 pictures to show color difference and the broken part, with this part broken it will not stay in place. The original is on the right in both pictures. Parts arrived quickly and packaged well. I just delayed opening the box and installing.
