When the White Family was attacked on the Santa Fe Trail near the Canadian River in northeastern New Mexico in 1850, Carson and a small military detachment rode to attempt a rescue. At the site of Mrs. White's abduction, they found a dime novel (probably being read by Mrs. White) about Kit Carson rescuing a woman from an Indian attack. Kit could not read the book because he was illiterate, but he understood that the written word had spread his fame far and wide.
A short time later, the rescue party found Mrs. White's still-warm body. Kit's "failure" to save Mrs. White haunted him for years.
