Notice is hereby given to all persons, that Christopher Carson, a boy about 16 years old, small of his age, but thick-set; light hair, ran away from the subscriber, living in Franklin, Howard County, Missouri, to whom he had been bound to learn the saddler's trade. . . . One cent reward will be given to any person who will bring back the said boy.''
This notice appeared in the Missouri Intelligencer of October 6, 1826, at about the same time that Kit Carson, in the humble role of cavvy boy in Bent's Santa F caravan, embarked upon his notable career. Thirty years later, a postgraduate of the University of the Wilderness, and for a decade past a national hero, he was persuaded to dictate to a literate friend his own story of his life to date.
The account--as modest and undemonstrative as Carson's feats were remarkable--covers his life as a trapper, Indian fighter, guide, and buffalo hunter up to the fall of 1856. Among the high spots during these years were his trapping expedition to California with Ewing Young (1829-1831), his celebrated duel with Shunar at the Green River rendezvous of 1837, the three expeditions with John C. Fr mont (1842, 1843-1844, 1845), his exploits in the Mexican War (l846-1848), and his service as an Indian agent.

NON FICTION IS A GREAT WAY TO LISTEN WHILE YOU DRIVE! TRY AUDIBLE!
Format: Audiobook
LET THEM
AUDIBLE NON-FICTION INSPIRATIONAL BOOK ON LISTENING TO MEL ROBBINS MOTIVATIONAL ADVICE MAKES MY DRIVING DESTINATIONS ENJOYABLE! I had something like 24 AUDIBLE CREDITS that have built up because I'm a visual person that loves to read. I've had the membership for over ten years and I only like certain NON FICTION SELF DEVELOPMENT books which I listen to Memoirs, Self help, but never fiction books, because my imagination is more vivid when I read. I always either listen to my podcasts on Spotify or NON-FICTION on AUDIBLE which is owned by Amazon. I can't drive anywhere without my Podcasts or very few Non-Fiction Titles that interest me, but I have had those credits and I love MEL ROBBINS so I decided to try it on AUDIBLE. My friends who read that listen to fiction on AUDIO understood why I bought the same fictional title and I had already loved reading it on my Kindle. It was a favorite lifetime reading experience and I own many of the same KINDLE & AUDIBLE versions but I noticed that fiction book that it was one of the most beautifully written books that when I went to listen to it, I quickly gave up because it was bland. I have been told by more frequent readers like myself who listen to the Audio version and recommend it to me on Audio since they enjoyed it better have said listening to fiction is a skill that you have to develop, so I stick to NON FICTION and I need to listen to something while I'm driving so I buy the Kindle Version & the AUDIBLE and it makes my driving to destinations shorter.v That's why I have Spotify because there's two favorite podcasts but I pay extra for no commercials and now my top favorite podcast has commercials which I 'm considering cancelling because the reason I pay extra is because the commercials drive me crazy so now Spotify says it's up to the podcast. The reason I've been a member since 2018, is because it is synced to the Bluetooth, in my car and the podcasts don't require Cell towers so you don't get the buffering that I do with Audible in areas where there aren't Cell towers which we call them dead zones. I'm recommending this AUDIBLE PURCHASE called, "LET THEM," because MEL ROBBINS is a new motivational author to me, and she wrote the book which she has some fascinating inspirational content, that I have learned some ideas to improve my life. She is a fantastic narrator in her soothing voice. One nice thing about AUDIBLE is they are extremely friendly and if you don't like the AUDIO BOOK Listening experience, you can return it, which you can't do with the KINDLE Books. so I have had to return something only twice in fifteen years, since I usually love what I purchase. I do recommend this book on AUDIBLE to listen to or if you don't have a membership they used to have a free trial and a free book if you're a new member. But I'm not sure, but however medium you choose this is a FAVORITE and it's a bestseller that I can promise you will love it, as well. It has a very high rating of tens of thousands of five star ratings which is even more evident that it's a Spectacular choice!

Let Them and Let Me, is what I needed!
Format: Hardcover
I wish that I could give this book much more than 5 stars. I absolutely loved reading it. The book is so interesting and the information is useful and makes a lot of sense. I have been reading the book since I received it on March 5, 2026 and it was very hard for me to put it down. I am now on the concluding chapter "Your Let Me Era Is Here." I feel a little sad that I am finishing the book because I want to know more. However, I decided to practice the suggestions and theories the author stated in the book to see if they really worked. The 5-4-3-2-1 suggestion was used anytime there was something that I didn't feel motivated to do, and it worked. I felt better afterwards. The "Let Them" and "Let Me" theories have worked also. But, I realized it is going to take time for me to make the needed changes consistently. Still, I am very happy that I purchased and read this book. It is definitely worth the money and time spent reading and making application of the information. It boosted my confidence!

I say read it then write your own review
Format: Hardcover
I enjoyed the read. " Let them " it's seems so easy. You do you " me" and let them do them. Easy. I felt as an adult most of us already have adjusted passed the emotional baggage of others. Not 100 because no one can say they never get caught on a snag time to time. Especially driving in traffic or standing in line behind adult kindergartners but for the most part you just let it go before it causes any reflux. The book does lay it out and simplifies it by using her life experiences while adding contexts of professionals outlooks and numbers. I gave it a four out of five because I kept reading it while always thinking I get it but it's a person to person awareness. I will always have to be the bigger person and except that the problem may be them but I'm going to let them be the problem but I will just adjust my way and let them continue to be the unconscious fool they are or until they see for themselves how unruly and trivial they truly are. I think personally it's like wearing a mask. For it to actually work everyone needs to wear it. Best thing about this book was the title itself. "Let them " because when you realize you can't control anyone other than yourself you can mentally process that it's okay for you to just be yourself and forget about the rest. Nothing changes if nothing is changed.

Loving it so far
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I really didn't know what to expect with a book full of names, but I love a murder mystery & needed more post work hobbies, so I thought this would be interesting & was I right. This book has been so engaging and keeps my mind in a good focused place instead of the usual dissociation after a stressful day of work or doom scrolling. It was nice to come up with my own little system as to how I would solve the clues on each page & keep track of everything. If you're interested in puzzles, or just need something interesting to keep busy, I feel this is a great concept to solve a mystery. 100% would recommend.
