About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Life and Adventures of Kit Carson by DeWitt C. Peters. Read in English by Librivox volunteers. Kit Carson was a famous hunter, trapper, mountain man, guide - an American icon. Stories about him abounded in popular contemporary literature, but most was pure fiction. This work is the authorized biography, much of it in his own words. It was first published right around the time of his death. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)
