Kearny's ordering Carson back west--redundancy
editThere is some redundancy about Kearny's ordering Carson back west. In Kit_Carson#Bear_Flag_Revolt:
- In 1846, dispatched with military records for the Secretary of War in Washington, DC, Carson took the Gila Trail, but was met on the trail by General Kearney, who ordered him to hand his dispatches to others bound east, and return to California as his much-needed guide.
This material is repeated again in Kit_Carson#Mexican–American_War_(1846–1848):
- One of Carson's best-known adventures took place during this war. In December 1846, Carson was ordered by General Kearny to guide him and his troops from Socorro, New Mexico, to San Diego, California.
I don't know enough about Carson to decide which one to delete. I'll let someone else who knows the material make that decision. --David Tornheim (talk) 19:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
