Excerpt from Personal Narratives of the Battles of the Rebellion: Kit Carson's Fight With the Comanche and Kiowa Indians The summer of 1864 Will long be remembered by our frontiersinen as a season When the Comanche, the Kiowa, the Arapahoe, the Cheyenne, and the Plain Apache held high carnival on our Western plains. From the early spring of that year, When the hardy Indian pony could subsist on the growing grass of the prairies, until late in the fall, they committed their depredations, and there was not a Week of that Whole season, but that some outrage was committed by them. They seemed to have conceived the idea that the white man could be exterminated, and by concerted action, and by striking at different points, to have fondly hoped that they could once more roam and hunt at their pleasure, free and unmolested.
