Description
“The Life of Kit Carson” is a Western novel by American author E. S. Ellis. The story is based around the exaggerated exploits of Kit Carson, a legendary hunter, scout, and guide in the American Old West. A fantastic example of classic Western fiction, “The Life of Kit Carson” is not to be missed by fans of the genre. Contents include: “Kit Carson’s Youth”, “His Visit To New Mexico”, “Acts As Interpreter And In Various Other Employments”, “Joins A Party Of Trappers And Engages In A Fight With Indians”, etc. Edward Sylvester Ellis (1840 – 1916) was a popular American writer of Western fiction. His 1860 novel “Seth Jones, or The Captives of the Frontier” is considered to have jump-started the dime novel phenomenon, it alone selling over 500,000 copies. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction and biography of the author.
