Solider in Buckskin (Five Star First Edition Western)

Soldier In Buckskin is the biographical novel of Kit Carson. Carson was a frontiersman, fur trapper, Army scout, military officer, trusted friend to the Indian nations, and a legend of the Old West. Soldier In Buckskin focuses primarily on the seventeen years from 1831 to 1848 when Carson was among the foremost of the mountain men engaged in trapping beaver in the pristine wilderness. The Indian nations, also actively gathering pelts to sell, regarded white men as little better than poachers in their domains and fiercely defended their sovereignty. It was while a trapper that Carson met and fell in love with Singing Grass, an Arapaho woman whom he would marry and have a daughter. After the death of Singing Grass, Carson’s encounter and romance with Josefa Jamarillo introduced him to the society of the Spanish "ricos" in New Mexico. Soldier In Buckskin is a terrific read blending history, adventure and romance.Ray Hogan is the author of 'Solider in Buckskin (Five Star First Edition Western)' with ISBN 9780786206193 and ISBN 0786206195.
