Excerpt from book: JOHN CHARLES FREMONT AND KIT CARSON. It was in 1842 that the government sent out another exploring party under John C. Fremont. Fremont was a young man, and he had already explored much in the west. Already pioneers had settled here and there through the west, even to the shores of the Pacific. There were towns and villages everywhere. Still the deep regions of the Rockies had not been explored. Fremont believed that wonderful things were to be found there; then, too, the government was eager to find a safe and direct route through the mountains.

One morning a band of traders came into the town, on their way to New Mexico. They told marvellous stories of the places they hadvisited, and of New Mexico most of all. Kit listened to these stories as long as he could, then hurried back to his work. The shop seemed duller than ever. He felt as if he were in prison. " I will not bear it!" he said. " I will be free!
