- LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. Kit Carson becomes the steady and reliable guide for John C. Fremont’s historic expeditions to California. The first two are relatively routine, but the third takes an unexpected and consequential twist. The exploratory expedition turns into a military campaign to battle Native American tribes and to take California from Mexico.

Carson and Freemont are such amazing story protagonists!
Excellent politics
No woke lecturing
I am grateful
Howdy! Redneck...
Indeed.

Rest In Peace sir
In the beginning the west was a hard place and required hard men. No one knew it better than Kit. Manifest Destiny. In those days it meant exploration more akin to space travel in our times. Little did we know at time it also meant the displacement of millions of people and the theft of their lands by way of treatys they never intended to honor. Thank you Black Barrel for bringing our history to a new generation. Enjoyed.
Perfect, thanks!

Your account of the DeHaro twins and Jose Berryessa is quite incorrect. This incident took place at the Mission at San Rafael and the twins Ramon and Francisco were the sons of Francisco deHaro the alcalde of Yerba Buena (San Francisco) for staters.
You are correct! There is much more to that story! In the end it cost John Fremont the Republican nomination for President!
Excellent!
The time line of Stockton needs more scrutiny. His orders being secret the logg pf his Pacific voyage needs to be measured against events.
The city of Stockton is named after US Navy Commodore Robert Stockton.
Fremont is a hero to radicals
He did recognize Grants talent and perseverance but in the end he was always about himself first
Odd he was a southerner of I suppose Huguenot ancestry
Huguenots goot eveeywhere. I wonder why the green uniform?
Reference to the conquest of California:
The territory here was as much stolen and robbed from Mexico against its will and desires as is booty extorted from a helpless traveler by threat of arms. Who that reviews the violent and fraudulent means employed to revolutionize and conquer California, can look with honest complacency on the gold coin stamped with that appellation? What has been the fate of all nations who believe they can “advance” or have abounded in the precious metals? Read the history of California life thus far developed and say whether this war was to carry with it a crime and folly for such a war, a Pandora’s box of greater evils, it would be the acquisition of the golds lands of the Sacramento. Are we not rushing into the love of money, into extravagance and worldliness, and unrepublican and unchristian habits with sufficient rapidity, Muhammad like, that we must invoke new powers from the god of gold to add to their momentum, that shrine of mammon and mars? Austria may remember how her power trampled on her impotent neighbor Poland, did she not pay dearly very dearly for her “California”? I look at similar nations who have embarked on this career of dismemberment, I see Three great powers, Austria Russia and Prussia united to dismember Poland, each one had as you do now their California; one had his Veracruz, one his New Mexico, the other his California, did they remained incapable of harm? No! You see the blind instrument of justice acting through Napoleon for Polands injuries, he drives the northern Caesar from his capitals, sleeps in his palace, the Prussian drill sergeants are seen in the plains before their capital, luckily to escape death or captivity at the hands of napoleons army, Russia suddenly invaded by over half a million armed soldiers, devastation and ruin cover all three powers, and they realize they too must pay for their wrongs! You may March into Mexico, defeat any number of Mexican armies, you may raise your flag over her capitals, but retributive Justice will call upon you a single hand of Mexicos poorest peasant raised in prayer to god and a power will fall upon you or your soldiers striking their hearts to stone and ash! Are we sure this war is not tainted by other interests or by motives such as conquest? Are the invaders of this ill-fated country, of the 19th century, so pure and upright in all their objects, and so far elevated above the passions of those of the 16th, that they may hone to escape the punishments which
awaited them, and which has ever awaited the conqueror and oppressor ? The people of the United States cannot be said to have instigated or premeditated this great crime, the conquest of Mexico and California, yet by accepting the spoils, like king ahab and jezebel, they become obnoxious to the punishment for coveting and taking thy neighbors vineyards. It is no glory to us that we a larger, more affluent nation, one more able to withhold any aggression is bullying its weaker neighbor and taking from it such a large portion of its territory, it’s spoils will not be benefits. See says the aristocrat and monarchist, your boasted government of the people can commit outrages and wage unjust wars as if ever perpetrated by the old kaisers and kings! Whoever would know the further fate of this Roman Diety, “Terminus”, so recently taken under the bosom of American Democracy and under the concept of “Manifest Destiny”, may find ample gratification of his curiosity, in the luminous pages of the historical accounts of "Gibbons Decline and Fall of Rome". Our actions and transgressions have been no light events and come with it no light retribution. When we sow the seeds so copiously, we can’t complain when the harvest is so abundant! But if the period ever arrives to when the second largest republic on earth , mexico, and by far the most hopeful and consistent one is blotted out of the record of nations and becomes the “Poland of the west , we shall be condemned in the eyes of heaven and our own as authors of such tremendous a catastrophe!

The three men Kit Carson shot and killed in cold blood were Francisco and Ramón De Haro (twin sons of a former alcalde of San Francisco), and José de los Reyes Berreyesa, the 61-year-old owner of Rancho San Vicente south of San José, whose son was the alcalde of Sonoma. John Fremont and Kit Carson were not heroes.
I am born and raised in San Rafael, Marin County, CA. The accounts of what happened at that time, by people who witnessed the events you so incorrectly narrate can be verified by information at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley, CA, the Mission San Rafael Arcangel basement archives and Olompali park.
Your account of the DeHaro twins and Jose Berryessa is quite incorrect. This incident took place at the Mission at San Rafael and the twins Ramon and Francisco were the sons of Francisco deHaro the alcalde of Yerba Buena (San Francisco) for staters.
