Kit Carson

Kit Carson is one of America's earliest heroes and is regarded as one of the principal Mountain Men in American history. Kit was born and raised on what was then the American frontier, spending his formative years living in various forts erected by the United States Army.
Kit eventually struck out on his own, taking up beaver trapping, hunting, acting as a guide, and eventually fighting for the nascent United States of America in the West. First against native tribes hostile to the Americans, and then against Mexico during the annexation of California. 
== Facts: ==
-Kit is remembered most simply as a Mountain Man. He followed a draconian sense of honor, being extremely loyal to family and close friends. This strong sense of justice also meant he was highly vindictive to those who slighted him. 
-Kit worked extensively as a scout, either guiding military explorations into the west or rescuing people lost in the wilderness. 
-Kit was also an accomplished bush fighter, waging several wars during his lifetime against all manner of foes. 
-Kit was also very popular in the United States, especially back on the Atlantic coast where he was characterized as a noble savage and iconic hero of the American frontier. 
-Kit was also very passionate about preserving wildlife. In his younger years, Kit had witnessed first hand the over trapping and near extinction of the North American Beaver in many parts of its vast territory. He was particularly worried about the American Bison or Buffalo and in his later years took pains to ensure their survival despite heavy hunting. Category:Creator
