Title	Sutter Welcoming Fremont and Kit Carson, 1844
Date	1960
Description	This circa 1960 postcard shows the March 1844 arrival of Christopher "Kit" Carson and John C. Fremont at Sutter's Fort. The Kentucky-born Carson was hired by Fremont in 1843 to serve as a guide and lead an expedition to explore a new route over the Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountains to Sutter 's Fort and nearby venues. The winter crossing - viewed by many as both courageous and careless - started in Missouri.
