[The Life of Kit Carson by Edward S. Ellis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Life of Kit Carson CHAPTER VIII 1/5
CHAPTER VIII. Carson and two Companions set out on a Trapping Expedition of Their Own--They Meet With Great Success--Is Engaged by Captain Lee--Carson's Pursuit of an Indian Thief. Kit Carson finally grew tired of wandering over the country without gaining sight of a beaver.
He proposed to two of his companions that they start on a private expedition of their own.
They were as disgusted as he and eagerly agreed to the proposition. The employers of the men commended the enterprise of the little company and gave them their best wishes.
Cordial farewells were exchanged all around, and Kit and his comrades left the camp on their perilous errand. On this occasion, as on innumerable other ones, Carson showed most excellent judgment.
His scheme was to keep entirely to the streams never once venturing upon the plains.
