|
One of the early Americans in the Mexican trade, Pattie had reached Santa Fe in 1825. Three years later, he landed in jail in California.

John Joseph Linn, a native of Ireland, came to Texas in 1829. For the next several decades he was an active participant and leader in the significant events that shaped Texas during the exciting period of the revolution and the Republic.
|
An expedition of thirty-five men set out from Westport, Missouri, to find an all-seasons railroad route through the central Rockies. Their failure in the deep snows and below-zero winds of Colorado's San Juan Mountains - and the deaths of nearly a third of the expedition - left not only vestiges of disaster but persistent questions.
|
The whole fur trade system is traced out from the Green River rendezvous or the Fort Union post to the trading houses of St. Louis and the auctions in New York and Europe.
