Following a route used at least partially by the Spaniard explorer Francisco Vazquez de Coronado (1541) and later by Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1806), it served as the primary trade route between the growing American West and the Mexican territories. Although used in the decades prior to 1821, the viability of the route was not fully known until Mexico secured its independence from Spain that year. The Santa Fe Trail provided trade in basic dry goods with the northern Mexican settlements, and later provided a connection in the southern trade route to California. The Santa Fe was a primary source of people, goods and mail, only to be supplanted in 1880 by what would become the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railroad. This excerpt from 'American Trails Revisited' follows the Santa Fe from Kansas City, Missouri, to Santa Fe, New Mexico, exploring the history of the Native Americans and early explorers through the South Central Plains and into the Southwest. | Amazon Kindle $4.99 | | | Old Spanish Trail | ATROS | Coming Soon | | | | Butterfield Overland Stage | ATRBO | In March of 1857, realizing the need for an overland mail route from the east that serviced the west, congress passed a Post Office Appropriations Bill.
