University of Nebraska Press, 1966, originally published in 1935 as No. 33 in the Lakeside Classics as originally dictated by Carson to a literate friend of his life to date. This account covers his life as a trapper, Indian fighter, guide and buffalo hunter up to the fall of 1856. Among the high spots were his trapping expedition to California with Ewing Young (1829-1931), his celebrated duel with Shunar at the Green River rendezvous of 1837, the three expeditions with Fremont (1842, 1843-1844, 1845), his exploits in the Mexican War (1846-1848) and his service as an Indian agent.
