Kit Carson and his US troops, under orders from the commander of the New Mexico Military Department, attacked Kiowa Chief Dohasans winter village in the Texas Panhandle. Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped. Fighting proceeded down the Canadian River to the abandoned trading post of Adobe Walls as hundreds more Kiowas and Comanches joined the battle. Nearing sunset, Carsons troops burned Dohasans village, and although remarkably few lives were lost in the battle itself, the enduring consequences were hardly insignificant. Well known as an explorer, guide, and frontiersman, Carsons involvement at the First Battle of Adobe Walls has been overlooked. Beginning his research in the 1990s, Alvin Lynn set out to fill that void when he located and walked the 200-mile-long wagon road from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and collected 1,800 metal artifacts from 15 historic camps, including the burned Kiowa village. Among the recovered artifacts were fired friction primers verifying the placement of howitzers at the battle site. With nearly eighty battle site and artifact photographs taken by renowned photographer Wyman Meinzer, <em>Kit Carson and the First Battle of Adobe Walls</em> documents Carsons military expedition from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and Lynns own journey more than a century later to discover what really happened.</p>...4043455Kit Carson and the First Battle of Adobe Walls193193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/kit-carson-and-the-first-battle-of-adobe-walls-9780896728622/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3694369/e23b815d-fcd6-4ecb-9c8d-dfc6419ebbba.jpg?v=638385739920700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209780896728622_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9780896728622_<p>On a late November morning in 1864, Col.
