Thus a dreadful Indian war was averted.
Among some of these tribes Kit Carson found a beautiful and unusually intelligent Indian girl, whom he married, and took to his home in the fort.
It is the undisputed testimony of all who knew him, that he was a man of unspotted purity of character in his domestic relations.

By this wife, Mr.
Carson had one child; a daughter.

Not long after the birth of this child, the mother died.

The father watched over the motherless infant with the utmost tenderness.

As she emerged from infancy to childhood he removed her to St.Louis.Here he found the funds he had so carefully invested very valuable to him.
