Book Reviews of Blood and Thunder: The Epic Story of Kit Carson and the Conquest of the American West

Book Review: Kit Carson Superhero
Summary: 5 Stars

I was brought up on the Lone Ranger and Davy Crockett, another name which appeared sporadically was Kit Carson. A few years ago I went with one of my sons to the beautiful Canyon de Chelly in Arizona what I did not know at the time was that this place was part of the kit Carson legend. This book is absolutely fantastic, a page turner I could not put it down it tells the story of Kit, the exploration of the West and the war between the New Mexicans and the Navajo. I read many history books in a year this one was by far the best in 2006 - love it
