Bold Venture Press presents a forgotten pulp classic through arrangement with Camille "Caz" Cazedessus, publisher of Pulpdom, a legendary journal documenting pulp fiction history prior to 1931.

Originally published in 1939, and never before reprinted, "Young Kit Carson" is a he-man adventure of the American frontier, high in the Rocky Mountains. Carson struggles to preserve peaceful relations between the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes, while maintaining order among the competitive fur-trappers. Soon it becomes clear that someone stands to profit from tribal conflict. Carson has faced all manner of predator: bear, wolf, coyote — and humans — and he'll use his hunting skills to vanquish those who would cultivate war.

Kit Carson (1809 – 1868) was a real-life pulp hero in his own manner: an American frontiersman who braved all manner of danger as he carved out a place in history, opening the western states to America. He was a fur trapper and wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. Few people described pulp protagonists, real and fictional, as well as H. Bedford-Jones (1887-1949), dubbed "the King of the Pulps" by his contemporaries.
