I attended high school in La Junta CO during 1923-27. I remember that KIT CARSON III was living in La Junta at that time. He had a son, KIT CARSON IV, who was a bit younger than I. During a holiday celebration, possibly Memorial Day 1926, a feature was a stagecoach drive to the site of Bent's Fort, several miles East of La Junta. The Fort was re-constructed later. KIT CARSON IV was selected to be the passenger on the ride. I no longer live in that area, but perhaps if you inquire there you will get some help. La Junta is in Otero County. Hope this helps.
