    Kit Carson and John C. Fremont were once unmitigated Western heroes. They remain important figures in Western American history. But both have been subject to revisionism. A recent biography of Fremont, John Charles Fremont: Character as Destiny by Andrew Rolle, critiques the ex lorer as an ill-fated adventurer and opportunist (it is Rolle who compares him to Lawrence of Arabia). Carson has been branded a genocidal racist, especially for his Navaj…
