EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Christopher (Kit) Carson, taken between 1860 and 1875. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. Carson's multifaceted life is reflected in his various roles as a frontiersman, fur trapper, wilderness guide, Indian agent, and US army officer. Carson's rugged appearance is highlighted by his impressive facial hair - a thick moustache that exudes masculinity and resilience. As a brigadier general in the United States Army during the 19th century, he commanded respect and admiration from those around him. The photograph captures Carson's stoic expression, hinting at the countless adventures he must have embarked upon throughout his lifetime. His piercing gaze seems to reflect both wisdom gained from years spent navigating treacherous terrains and an unwavering determination to protect and serve his country. Preserved within glass negatives held by the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, this portrait offers us a glimpse into America's rich heritage. It immortalizes Kit Carson as not only a man but also as an embodiment of courage, strength, and resourcefulness - qualities that defined many pioneers who shaped our nation. As we contemplate this still image frozen in time over a century ago, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that drove individuals like Kit Carson to explore uncharted territories while leaving their mark on history.
