Kit Carson's Fight with the Comanche and Kiowa Indians (Illustrated Edition)

by Capt. George H. Pettis

Overview

Toward the end of 1864, in response to attacks by Native Americans on white settlers, Christopher "Kit" Carson was ordered to take 13 officers and 246 enlisted men to attack the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, believed to be spending the winter on the south side of the Canadian River. This is an annotated account of the battle that centered around Adobe Wells, Texas, by Capt. George H. Pettis, who was part of Carson's command. Additional information concerning Kiowa, Comanche and Kiowa-Apache people, and Carson himself, has been added to the original manuscript.

This edition of the book contains all three of the original illustrations, rejuvenated, and 11 additional illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.
