The Adventures of Kit Carson is an American Western television series that aired from 1951 to 1955 and consisted of 104 episodes.[1][2] While airing, the show was shown in over 130 markets and was sold to the Coca-Cola Bottling Company by MCA-TV.[3] After airing, MCA-TV acquired syndication rights to the show. In New York, the show aired on Tuesday evenings on
WNBT (TV) and ran for thirty-minutes.[3] The show starred Bill Williams in the title role as frontier scout Christopher "Kit" Carson, and Don Diamond co-starred as El Toro, Carson's Mexican companion.
Though the show may have been inspired by the historic Kit Carson, it is not historically accurate.[4]
