Review by Janet M. on 04/09/24 review stating American Experience Kit Carson
PBS was wonderful in the ordering and shipping. I placed an order, only to have it suddenly cancelled and delayed. It was well worth the wait. The DVD is well made offering a unique view into Kit Carson. Some major details left out, but excellent in presentation. Kit Carson was quite contrary as both living with /friends to Hispanic and tribal people, yet vilified generations later for the countless people who were killed and died.
