Young Kit set out in 1826 along undeveloped Horse trails across mountainous territory leading from St. Louis to New Mexico. He grows up quickly, learning languages and memorizing trails throughout the west. Kit meets Lieutenant Fremont which eventually leads to his hoisting American flags in the west coast towns of San Francisco, Monterey, San Diego, Sonoma, and Los Angeles. Dazzling adventures unfold in these 15 pages of the significant moments until Kit settles back home in Taos around 1864.
