KIT CARSON'S BIGGEST REGRET | FORGOTTEN TALES OF THE OLD WEST
Few names loom larger in the history of the American West than Kit Carson. Scout, trapper, soldier, guide, Indian agent and legend, Carson lived a life that became the stuff of dime novels and frontier mythology.
But behind the legend was a man who carried memories he could never leave behind.
In this episode of FORGOTTEN TALES OF THE OLD WEST, we look beyond the heroic image to explore Kit Carson's biggest regret, and the events that cast a long shadow over the life of one of the West's most famous figures.
It's another true story the history books too often leave behind.
