What is Josefa: the Lifetime of Maria Josefa Jaramillo Carson 1828-1868 about?

The Lifetime of Maria Josefa Jaramillo Carson, 1828-1868 is an in-depth look into the life and times of Kit Carsons third and most beloved wife, Maria Josefa Jaramillo Carson. The book examines the frontier conditions of women living in the territories of the American Southwest in the mid-19th century. Kit Carson was one of the most famous frontiersman of the American West even before he met Maria Josefa Jaramillo in Taos, New Mexico in 1842. Josefa was born to a prominent and well-known Taos family. She and Kit lived in Taos from 1843 to 1867. Theirs was a close marriage with seven of their nine children born in the small, three room home which now houses the Kit Carson Home and Museum. Josefa spent much of their time in Taos on her own, as Kit was often away on orders from the military. She was a strong and equal match to Kit. Her life story is one of adventure and confrontation with adversaries and hostile conditions she was a true pioneer in her own right. Barbara Schultz, a retired educator and author of The Couse Collection of Santos, has generously written this important historic account solely for the benefit of the Kit Carson Museum.
