FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, New York, April 20, 1867
* Kit Carson - frontiersman
In over 46 years of selling rare newspapers I recall only seeing one image of Kit Carson in a newspaper, and this is it.
See the photos for the nice front page image captioned: "Kit Carson, the Celebrated Explored & Indian Agent...". Page 3 has an article on him headed: "Christopher Carson, the Indian Agent".
Also of interest is a half page: "Map of the Territory of Russian America Ceded to the us. by Russia" with a related article on the front page and page 14. This purchase of Alaska would become known as "Seward's Folly"
Sixteen pages, some damp staining to the upper portion of the right margin, minimal margin wear, good condition.
