Kearny's ordering Carson back west--redundancy
There is some redundancy about Kearny's ordering Carson back west. In Kit_Carson#Bear_Flag_Revolt:
- In 1846, dispatched with military records for the Secretary of War in Washington, DC, Carson took the Gila Trail, but was met on the trail by General Kearney, who ordered him to hand his dispatches to others bound east, and return to California as his much-needed guide.
This material is repeated again in Kit_Carson#Mexican–American_War_(1846–1848):
- One of Carson's best-known adventures took place during this war. In December 1846, Carson was ordered by General Kearny to guide him and his troops from Socorro, New Mexico, to San Diego, California.
I don't know enough about Carson to decide which one to delete. I'll let someone else who knows the material make that decision. --David Tornheim (talk) 19:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

missing impact statement comparing to the holocaust
brushes over the level of evil of killing children and old people and long march, ive been there and it feels just like Hitlers camps — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.130.142.29 (talk) 01:42, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- This sounds like original research to me... to you have any reliable sources that make this claim? - Adolphus79 (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- As the lead section of the article says, Carson "lived among and married into the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes." The "Reputation" section of the article discusses the pros and cons of his actions and his character in considerable detail. Wikipedia articles, as a matter of policy, are written from the Neutral point of view, and should neither solely praise nor denounce a highly controversial figure like Carson who is both admired and reviled.
