Civil War1863Kit Carson’s campaign against the IndiansShare this:facebooktwittergoogle+PRINT CITEOn this day, the Union’s Lt. Colonel Christopher “Kit” Carson leaves Santa Fe with his troops, beginning his campaign against the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona. A famed mountain man before the Civil War, Kit Carson was responsible for waging a destructive war against the Navajo that resulted in their removal from the Four Corners area to southeastern New Mexico.Carson was perhaps the most famous trapper and guide in the West. He traveled with the expeditions of John C. Fremont in the 1840s, leading Fremont through the Great Basin. Fremont’s flattering portrayal of Carson made the mountain man a hero when the reports were published and widely read in the east. Later, Carson guided Stephen Watts Kearney to New Mexico during the Mexican-American War. In the 1850s he became the Indian agent for New Mexico, a position he left in 1861 to accept a commission as lieutenant colonel in the 1st New Mexico Volunteers.

Answer from: mollycompton04

Kit Carson (1809-1868) was an American explorer.

He was a famous nineteenth-century "frontier man": he was an explorer, guide, Indian agent, hunter and soldier. An almost legendary figure, he represents one of the icons of the Far West in the collective imagination.

He fought in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and in the Civil War, joining the Northern Army (1861-1865), where he obtained the rank of general Brigadier.

At the end of the war he was sent to Fort Stanton, in the Sacramento Mountains, with the task of taking care of the Indian Apache and Navajo tribes. Lieutenant Carson showed moderate in the repression of the natives and, despite the recommendations to kill all the males and to capture the women, he opted for the destruction of things respecting human lives.
