Story illustration for “Kit Carson, The Famous American Frontiersman” by William S. Bridgman for Munsey’s, published December 1909, page 333.
Christopher Houston “Kit” Carson was a legendary American frontiersman, who variously served the roles of fur trapper, wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. His exploits were so widely documented and embellished in contemporary biographies and news articles that he became a mythic figure, with sensationalized stories about him featured in popular dime novels.
This dramatic scene illustrates Kit Carson’s involvement in the Mexican-American War. With twenty-five of his frontiersmen, Carson helped a small body of U.S. troops secure a victory against the Mexican army in Southern California.

Story Illustration
Herbert Paus was a native of Minneapolis and got his first job as a cartoonist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Ambitious to become an illustrator, he enrolled in the Fine Arts School there, and later found employment in a Chicago art studio.
Eventually, he moved to New York where he became a freelance illustrator. Paus had a strong sense of design, which was ideally suited to posters.
