Carson was evidently unusual among trappers, however, for his self-restraint and temperate lifestyle.
Carson's notoriety grew as his name became associated with several key events in the United States' westward expansion.
In 1864 most surrendered to Carson, who forced nearly 8,000 Navajo men, women and children to take what came to be called the "Long Walk" of 300 miles from Arizona to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where they remained in disease-ridden confinement until 1868.

Kit Carson (December 24, 1809–May 23, 1868), born Christopher Houston Carson, was an American frontiersman.
Carson was pleased with the work the Utes did for him, but felt some irritation when they went home in the middle of the campaign, having collected what they thought was sufficient booty.
General Carleton in October 1865 recommended that Carson be awarded the brevet rank of brigadier-general, "for gallantry in the battle of Valverde, and for distinguished conduct and gallantry in the wars against the Mescalero Apaches and against the Navajo Indians of New Mexico."
