Page "Kit Carson" Paragraph 90

On January 19, 2006, Marley Shebala, senior news reporter and photographer for Navajo Times, quoted the Fort Defiance Chapter of the Navajo Nation as saying, " Carson ordered his soldiers to shoot any Navajo, including women and children, on sight.

" This view of Carson's actions may be taken from General James Carleton ’ s orders to Carson on October 12, 1862, concerning the Mescalero Apaches: " All Indian men of that tribe are to be killed whenever and wherever you can find them: the women and children will not be harmed, but you will take them prisoners and feed them at Ft. Stanton until you receive other instructions ".
