EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1858 depicts the legendary American frontiersman, Christopher Carson, famously known as Kit. In this intense scene, Carson finds himself entangled in a scuffle with another rider amidst the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains. With his trusty rifle by his side and mounted on his sturdy horse, Carson showcases both his equestrian skills and fearless nature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of 19th-century America's wild west through intricate details such as Carson's coonskin cap and rugged attire. As a scout and general during that era of westward expansion, Kit was an emblematic figure representing adventure and exploration. This wood engraving is taken from "The Life & Adventures of Kit Carson" written by DeWitt Peters in New York. It offers viewers a glimpse into the life of this mountain man, fur trader, and settler who played a significant role in shaping America's frontier history. Displayed against a backdrop of untamed wilderness, this print evokes feelings of excitement and curiosity about the challenges faced by those who ventured into uncharted territories during that time period. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artwork to remind us of our nation's rich heritage and pay homage to remarkable individuals like Christopher "Kit". Carson.
