Gold had just been discovered in California at the close of the Mexican War when Kit Carson started east from Los Angeles with Dispatches.

Overland with Kit Carson is a colorful and authentic account of encounters with Indians and white adventurers and of the hazards and hardships that accompanied anyone who undertook such a long journey in a sparsely populated country.
