My great,X3 uncle. I love watching these videos. I wish I could have met him. But reading some of his diaries & playing the same piano he did, is really amazing.

[@cherylcampbell9369]

That is something very special!

[@kbanghart]

​@@cherylcampbell9369the way Kit Carson murdered the Native Americans is appalling and disgusting. I wish this had been taught in schools.

[@donjohnson5172]

[@Cooltea1983]

His name is still reviled to the Navajos to this very day, the reason that I know this is I have ask members of the Navajo Nation how they felt about Kit Carson..

[@65thhitman86]

Ooh did you... How many did you ask Great Communicator

[@West713Trey]

@@65thhitman86are you from America? It is very easy to go to reservation where all the stores are ran and operated by the tribes. This isn’t a far fetched story at all.

[@acesnoopy]

The Navajo believed Kit was so pure a man that he could not tell a lie

@luckystrike8733 you learned that he was a murderer? Good. And yes, those of us who are good people would have helped where we could. Just like good people did back then. Don't excuse bad behavior.

[@jessegerard5752]

Hello from Carson, NM

[@reenakemp9132]

Ive been waiting for this one!

[@derekstocker6661]

Yet another wonderful story of amazing people and what they achieved, thanks so much for this.

[@joncunningham55]

I used to be able to listen to this as I was going to sleep. It was perfect. I’d listen to the same story dozens of times but now with ads embedded in the the video i can’t do it.

[@9inchrails]

I know that feeling. There was this Mars Volta (full) album I would fall asleep to every night a few years ago and then they hit it with the ads, then eventually instead of the full album in one video it got broken down into each song being it’s own video. I ended up getting Apple Music and can now fall asleep to TMV whenever I want.

[@StMiBll]

Great episode! I have been waiting for this series.

[@oregonoutback7779]

Boonslick was actually named after Daniel's sons Daniel Morgan and Nathan who had a salt refinery in the area. The town was located at the end of the first road in what would become Missouri. It started in St Charles. Boonslick was really the town that opened up the American West.

[@mikejduk]

Just been watching an interesting KZbin video about children who believed they were reincarnated from the lives of previous people. One of them, significantly, is a 5 years old boy who described himself as Kit Carson in a past life.😢

[@abrahammorrison6374]

Fess Parker sang a song called Kit Carson.

[@kbanghart]

I'm sorry

[@kbanghart]

@luckystrike8733 sorry for your head

[@patrickbush9526]

A long forgotten fact about him is that he also invited the Kit Kat bar. Joe Biden:

Hi , From my understanding , native Americans were [ always ] at war with one another , to think the Apache Indians were peaceful isn’t true . . The Americans improved North America 🇺🇸 in no small way . . Most cultures aren’t interested in changes , the native Americans could [ Never ] invented the Airplane . . Make of that what you will . . 🧛🏻‍♂️

[@9inchrails]

It’s a little more complex with the Indians. There were many different apaches (bands). while this band might be peaceful the band 100 miles north could be straight savages.
