Description: "Kit Carson's role in the conquest of the Navajo during and after ì the Civil War remains one of the most dramatic and significant ì episodes in the history of the American West. Hampton Sides ì portrays Carson in the larger context of the conquest of the ì entire West, including his frequent and often lethal encounters ì with hostile Native Americans. Unusually, Sides gives full voice ì to Indian leaders themselves about their trials and tribulations ì in their dealings with the whites. Here is a national hero on the ì level of Daniel Boone, presented with all of his flaws and ì virtues, in the context of American people's belief that it was ì their Manifest Destiny to occupy the entire West."
