Carson, Kit
General Kit Carson - Colorado Chieftain Weekly – June 1, 1868 – Death of Kit Carson - The melancholy intelligence reaches us that Gen. Kit Carson is no more.  He died at his residence on the Las Animas, on the 24th inst., of disease of the heart.  General Carson was a Kentuckian by birth, removed early in life to the State of Missouri, and while yet a mere boy became a wanderer on the vast plains of the then unknown regions of the West.  From about the age of seventeen years until fifty, he lived the life of a hunter, trader and trapper.  He early explored and became familiar with the mountains and plains from the Missouri to the Pacific ocean.  During all those years of his wild life, he was constantly exposed to every hardship and danger.  Sometimes making his home with some tribe of the Indians and assisting them in their wars against other tribes.  Sometimes employed as a trapper by some mountain trader - sometimes trading on his own account between New Mexico and California.  His home was always the wilderness, and danger was his constant companion.  Unaided by the advantages of education or patronage, by the force of indomitable energy and will, by chivalrous courage, by tireless labor and self-denial he rose step by step until his name had become as familiar to the American people as a household word.  He stood pre-eminent among the path-finders and founders of empire in the Great West, and his long career, ennobled by hardship and danger, is unsullied by the record of a littleness or meanness.  He was nature's model of a gentleman.  Kindly of heart, tolerant to all men, good in virtues of disposition rather than great in qualities of mind, he has passed away - dying as through his life-long he had lived - in peace and charity with all men, and leaving behind him a name and memory to be cherished by his countrymen so long as modesty, valor, unobtrusive worth, charity and true chivalry survive among men.  Of his precise age we are not advised, but judge he was very near sixty years of age.  He leaves children of a tender age to mourn his loss.
