Kit Carson Home and Museum

(1809-1868) arrived in Taos. Kit had run away from an apprenticeship in Missouri to join a wagon train heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. Because of his remarkable talent for languages, Carson became a translator for a wagon train to Chihuahua. Shortly after, he became a trapper and mountain man, traveling extensively throughout the West. His real fame grew through serving as scout for the scientific and mapping expeditions of John C. Fremont. Kit Carson was truly one of America's great frontiersmen.">
