    Lt. Zebulon Pike: A Map of the Internal Provinces of New Spain 1810 1 2 3 4 8 6 7 9 10 5 11 12 13 14 University of Texas at Arlington - Terms of Use 1: Zebulon Montgomery Pike 1807 When Lieutenant Pike was sent to explore the Arkansas and Red Rivers, he may have received secret instructions to penetrate New Spain and assess conditions there. His invaluable companion, Dr. John Robinson, may almost certainly have been working for Louisiana filibusterer, schemer, and entrepreneur, James Wilkinson. At any rate, Pike built a stockade on the Rio Grande, and Robinson left for Santa Fe, with a half- plausible story about trying to recover the goods with which emigrant Baptiste Lelande had absconded. Shortly thereafter, the New Mexican government sent soldiers to escort Pike down to Santa Fe. The Spanish could no more penetrate the real reason for Pike and Robinson's trespass than modern historians can, and sent him down to Chihuahua for further interviews with the Commander of the Provincias Internas, Nemesio de Salcedo. While Robinson took advantage of his time in Chihuahua to try to defect, Pike spent most of his trip as a guest/ prisoner pumping his genial captor, Lt. Malgares, for information and trying to find maps to copy. His notes and maps were confiscated, but he managed to recover or reconstruct them enough to publish this map, the first that many Americans had seen of the settlements in New Mexico. Images: Zebulon Pike in 1807, the year he visited New Mexico: Charles Peale 2: Pikes stockade 1807 Pike and his troops were wintering in a stockade near the Rio Grande, possibly near present day La Jara, when they met with Spanish troops, who insisted Pike travel with them down to Santa Fe to answer charges of trespassing.

    National Historic Trail Association Pike Newsletter September— 2017 Vol. 11 No. 8 Pike Trail in Colorado The Pike NHT Association is happy to announce that the Pike Trail in Colorado has been designated by County Commissioners in 12 counties. In November and December 1806, Pike and his men explored the area along the Arkansas River from Powers County to near Leadville in Lake County. They also explored the southern part of South Park in Park County using as their base Cañon City near the Royal Gorge. In January 1807 they went south away from the Royal Gorge area into the Wet Mountain Valley, crossed the Sangre de Christo Mountain Range at Medano Pass, just northeast of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. In the San Luis Valley they crossed the Rio Grande River near the mouth of the Conejos River. In February they built a Stockade 5 miles up the Conejos, retrieved 5 men and were confronted by the Spanish who generously helped them in the dead of winter bringing them to Santa Fe, and Chihuahua into New Spain. The route of the Pike Trail in Colorado is actually two routes- one for automobiles and one for hikers and bicyclists. The northern portion of the automobile route follows US 50 from the Kansas/Colorado state border to near Buena Vista, and US 24 into Leadville. The pedestrian route portion uses safer roads on either side of US 50. The northern portion route includes visits to Pikes Peak, and South Park. The southern portion is routed through the Wet Mountain Valley, and south along the west side of the Sangre de Christos passing the Sand Dunes and on to the San Luis Valley stockade.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL.VIII Denver, Colorado, July, 1931 No.4 Gunnison in Early Days c. E. HAGIE* Gunnison and the river upon which it is located were named in honor of Captain John W. Gunnison, who was selected by the United States Government to survey a practicable railway route from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, ordered Gunnison to follow the route over Cochetopa Pass, which had previously been recommended by John C. :F1remont who, incidentally, felt that he should have been selected to make the 8Urvey. This brought Gunnison down the river which bears bis name and his career ended shortly after leaving the river when a detachment of his party was unex­ pectedly ambushed by a party of Indians on the morning of October 26, 1853. Settlement by white men on the site of Gunnison ·was made possible by Uncle Sam's treaty with the Utes, negotiated to secure the San Luis Valley for settlement. By this treaty of 1868 the Indians surrendered their land east of the 107th meridian in re­ turn for an annuity and the assurance that what was practically the entire western slope of Colorado should be their home as long as "rivers might run and grasses might grow." Of the four Agencies established for the Utes, one was located in Cochetopa Park, blocking the way to the Gunnison country. Although the east line of the reservation had not been definitely located there was reason to believe that this one, known as the Los Pinos Agency, was on lands ceded in the treaty, but the Indians had objected to going farther.

Pike is based upon his diary and reports; the excellent edition of Dr. El- liott Coues has been freely conisulted, without, however, accepting either his conclusions or inferences. Wherever the diary deals merely with the day's routine, this has been condensed into connecting paragraphs with explana- tory matter. This method has been preferred to footnotes, which, owing to Pike's brevity in statement, would otherwise have been necessary. Also, in order to present a consecutive narrative, anecdotes, customs and habits of the peoples which he encountered, in- teresting details of the country through which he passed have been severed from the appendices, where they were placed by the explorer, and added to the diary, wherever, in point of time, they belong.

The English colonists brought a tradition of militia service and a fear of standing armies to America. Once in America, the colonies formed their own militias, using them for defense and then later for offensive operations. At the time of the American Revolution the American colonies had to combine the militia with an army. The fear of a standing army hindered the Continental Army, and then later the American Army, from being an effective force.

The Meaning of Palimpsest In early times a palimpsest was a parchment or other material from which one or more writings had been erased to give room for later records. But the era­ sures were not alw’ays complete; and so it became the fascinating task of scholars not only to translate the later records but also to reconstruct the original writ­ ings by deciphering the dim fragments of letters partly erased and partly covered by subsequent texts. The history of Iowa may be likened to a palimpsest which holds the record of successive generations. To decipher these records of the past, reconstruct them, and tell the stories which they contain is the task of those who write history. Contents THE ZEBULON M. PIKE EXPEDITION W illiam J.

  • Zebulon Pike Teacher Resource
    Teacher Resource Set Title/Content Area Zebulon Pike and Pikes Peak Developed by CH/TPS Colorado Grade Level Elementary Essential Question What part has Zebulon M. Pike and Pikes Peak played in the history, geography and literature of Colorado? Contextual Paragraph Zebulon Montgomery Pike first wrote about the mountain peak he saw in the distance in November 1806. At that time, he believed that the peak was too rugged and high to be climbed by any human being. Less than fifty years later, Pikes Peak had become a major tourist attraction – a distinction that continues today. The resources in this set are to be used singly or in a combination of groups to enable students to use primary and secondary sources to better understand the effect this landform has had in the growth and development of Colorado. 1 Teacher Resource Set Resource Set Zebulon M.
