Kit Carson, a mountain man, explorer, and a bloody SAVAGE?! When KIT CARSON roamed the land

[@douglasw9624]

Am a descendant of a brother of Kit and have a little trivia for you. Actor William Smith (Conan the Barbarians father and Red Dawn etc.) was a descendant of the Carson and Boone families through Kits half brother William Carson and his wife Cassandra Boone (daughter of Daniel Boone's nephew).

[@w5bbaker]

I believe that you meant that Kit Carson found work at the Band's fort as a hunter in 1841, not 1941. Thank you sincerely for this video, Bill Baker

[@frankmorris4790]

Bent's Fort

[@koalabay08]

I thought i heard that. Lol 1941

[@reginaldsimons1681]

He was born in kentucky, not Virginia

[@keouine]

Who was? I thought video said North Carolina. That was the state highlighted.

[@JimOverbeckgenius]

The hideous clanging shit in the back-ground & fore-ground is a pain. Incidentally, the Carsons & Boones were from Cullompton, Devon, England & neighbours there.

[@charlie1571]

How accurate is this when the speaker can't get the dates right on several occasions.

[@staffy4389]

I remember having a signed photo card of kit Carson in the 60s. But now I'm thinking , maybe my mother signed it 🤔 .

You have a good mother.

As a kid growing up in Australia, I didn't know much about Kit. Thanks for great video, stuff the people criticising you for a couple of mistakes.

[@historias2884]

Much love to ya, brother!!

[@Casey-Jones]

Kit was a great man - we owe people like him a lot

[@kriskabin]

Carson wasn't "great" when it came to the Navajos. He was awful, in fact.

[@marthagomez7335]

I don’t owe that SOB nothing!

[@davidgodley521]

1926? The narrator had a typo! Should be 1826.

[@MrDavidrex]

Well done bio friend. Grand story .

[@floriangeyer1]

My interest in Carson and this general period (and personalities) of US history was ignited from reading George McDonald Fraser's, "Flashman and the Redskins". Whilst a fictitious account (of the adventures of the eponymous cad and Rugby School alumnus) McDonald Fraser wrote with such verve that this exciting and fascinating tale rings wholly true. Not for the faint of heart, Flashman's salty Victorian attitudes would give feminists and the "woke" a case of the vapours, but a thoroughly rollicking and enjoyable read for grown ups.

[@mikekemp9877]

same for me.frasers depth of obscure historical knowledge in a pre internet age is astounding.indeed in covering the crimea and indian mutiny for a history degree his notes within the novels and bibliography were essential as modern historians tend to repeat themselves and offer little insight into the people who lived in those times their attitudes and reactions.one gem from the novels was the true revelation unrecorded elsewhere but a fact as fraser has articles from leading journals of the day to back it up such as the times was that war was declared on russia when the cabinet were either drunk or asleep! they couldnt recall why they had decided to do it who suggested it or why they did.carson the biggest hero of the west even in his lifetime has oddly been neglected by hollywood apart from rip torn playing him in a mini series about the eqaully forgotten fremont the only other screen incarnation was jon hall in a 30s standard western owing little to the great man.i always thought alan ladd could have played him well.

[@Truly1Tom]

I've only one critique, @3:00min a mistake was the year being given as 1926 which should have been 1826. Other than that a very good 👍 👌 video 📹 👌 and it is spot on otherwise!

[@williebell1331]

At 4:37 you say in 1941,! I listened a couple times.

[@wilmoney4619]

At 3:00min you sat 1926 instead of 1826. Otherwise great video!

[@sashek8451]

Here to learn more. My uncle told me our Turley cousins, Kit Carson hid in one of their freight wagons and they smuggled Kit Carson out (from what threat or to where I don’t know) 😂 they owned a freight hauling business on the Santa Fe trail and lived near his family

Larger than life.

[@marcusaetius9309]

A bit of confusion between the 1800s and 1900s here.....

[@geezjunior]

Got a pretty popular park in town named after him around San Diego, it’s time I learn some hidden history

[@historias2884]

Bro, in south eastern Colorado there is a small ass town named after him. The town is literally about 100 houses or so, takes about two or 3 minutes to go through and its surrounded by an ocean of flat grass land. There ain't another town or sign of civilization for miles around it. It's a strange and awesome sight seeing a semi ghost town like that, there's even a little museum there that you can visit and buy nick knacks!

[@kriskabin]

Carson faught in the Battle of San Pasqual, which is in North San Diego County, near the San Diego Safari Park, east of Escondido. There's a museum & historical markers in that valley. And yes, Kit Carson Park is a few miles west in Escondido, Ca.

[@geezjunior]

@@kriskabin yeah I’m from Escondido, just never really checked out that museum, & I frequent the San pasqual reservation often in valley center!

Thanks !

1941??? Man he lived a long time traveling life. 😳

Kit Carson was born in Richmond, Kentucky.

More Carson trivia...Kits kids were pretty messed up. One became a prostitute, one beat his father in-law in the head with a hammer and shot him (they remained friends) one committed suicide, another died in an asylum, and another shot and killed his mother in-law and shot his father in-law.

[@davidgingerich2230]

Well Kit Carson is all part of American history. But I'm thinking hes gonna stand before the great judge and give an account of the cruel way he treated the Navajo Nation.

[@TheTaoofEternalWar]

And the Navajos were never cruel?

[@elmolewis9123]

@@TheTaoofEternalWar Let's see what you do if someone decides to take over your house.

[@TheTaoofEternalWar]

@@elmolewis9123 The Navajos stole from and enslaved their neighbors just as so many other tribes and peoples have done, white tribes, red tribes, black tribes. It is human nature. They were and are a proud and interesting people. The course of history was set against their sovereignty, it was what it was. It was best to have the issue settled and Kit Carson knew this. The white men could have done much worse. Do the Navajo not still live on their ancestral lands, are they not allowed to speak their own language and practice their own ways? The white man had the power to have committed genocide on the Navajo and many others if they had wished. Instead they are granted more benefits than the average citizen. Would the Navajo have been so generous to a defeated foe? I wonder. Of course they defended themselves. They were a warrior race and they are honored for it.

[@blueduck5589]

@@TheTaoofEternalWar The Europeans did not purchase, lease or rent the land; they stole it. They then imported slaves to work the land they stole. So, free land and free labor! It made this country rich.

In 1926 at the age of 16 he ran away from his apprenticeship?! Dates are a mess in this video!

Sorry, found another. At the start of Chapter 3, you start by typing, "In 1948" where you mean in 1848. I don't know whether you want me to continue, but these thing seem to stick out for me. I apologize if you do not want me to do this, Bill Baker

Too many errors or mis-speaks for me to take this seriously or to watch it to the end. Disappointing.

[@adirondacker007]

I second that.

[@keouine]

I thought this might be one of those annoying AI narrated videos. The speakers in them mispronounce tricky words that a human ought to say correctly. This voice said "abroad a steamboat' but it's 3 years old.

Damn dude, why have the soundtrack so loud over the voice over narration. Sounds like you enjoy pronouncing Spanish words 😉

Your in the 1800’s not 1900’s, don’t you listen to your own ramblings, knowing a little about Kit Carson I don’t think he would like his story told by a hespanic!
