Book Review

A Newer World: Kit Carson, John C. Frémont, and the Claiming of the American West. By David Roberts. (New York: Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, 2000. 320 pp. Illustrations, maps, bibliographical notes, index. $14, paper.)

Writer David Roberts states at the outset of A Newer World that he is not attempting a dual biography of John C. Frémont and Kit Carson, but instead has chosen to focus on four significant episodes in their lives, "believing that each . . . contains the kernel of a stirring, seldom-told adventure tale" (p. 18). These four episodes include Frémont's 1842 expedition, with Carson as guide, to the Wind River Range in the Wyoming Rockies; the two men's involvement in the 1846 conquest of California; Frémont's tragic 1848–9 expedition into the San Juan Range of the Rockies; and Carson's 1862–4 campaign against the Mescalero Apaches and the Navajos. . . .
