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

Toward the end of 1864, in response to attacks by Native Americans on white settlers, 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 of Kiowa, Comanche and Kiowa-Apache people, and Carson, himself, have been added to the original manuscript. The book had three illustrations -- a portrait of Carson, and one of Pettis, and a photograph of part of the Adobe Walls area. Eleven additional illustrations have been added, including maps of traditional territory of various tribes, and portrait examples of members of some Indian tribes. Five of the illustrations are in full color.

* This e-book is a true representation, from a high-definition scan of a pre-1923 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognizion (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, >> and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly.

* "True representation" means that if there are typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors that the editor judges to have minimal impact on the book's comprehension, they have been preserved; otherwise, they were corrected.

* In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.
