Since the photo was taken, all the trees along the creek have been removed. The photographed area is 1/4 mile left-to-right in the foreground, and 1/2 mile from the bottom of the photo to the dark brown field in the middle distance. The curvilinear features running diagonally across the pasture are SFT swales. There are five or six sets of parallel swales, as dif- ferent locations were sought out over the years to cross French Creek. A DAR marker is located where the swales can be seen intersecting the road on the left margin of the photo. This Trail Segment is a National Park Service “Certified Site” and is on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. This is the loca- tion of the Cottonwood Holes (some are visible just to the right of center of the photo) which were a source of water and provided a noon camping stop on the SFT. This was the first water on the SFT westward from Cot- tonwood Crossing, and the water appeared in depressions or holes both in and alongside the creek.

In the 1830s he explored the Rocky Mountains, and in 1846 joined a caravan of traders in St. Louis. He recorded his travels, wending slowly down the Old Santa Fe Trail, all the way to Chihuahua, in Memoir of a Tour to Northern Mexico. This memoir, published the year the Mexican-American war finally ended, provides a snapshot of life before the storm. Wislizenus, with his scientific training, took great interest in his surroundings, and discovered some new species, including the fishhook barrel cactus. [Wislizenus, Adolph] 2: San Miguel 1846 Two decades of traffic on the Santa Fe Trail had brought some degree of prosperity to San Miguel. Susan Magoffin also comments that San Miguel "is both larger and cleaner than any we have passed; it has a church and public square, neither of which are in the others." Quote: (27 June 1846) Passed this morning through San Miguel, or the Rio Pecos, The place seems somewhat larger and wealthier than las Vegas. A church, built of adobes, is the most prominent building in town. San Miguel is the most southern point on the Santa Fe road, and from here our mountain road takes a northwestern direction. About three miles beyond San Miguel we halted at noon, and started again in the afternoon for the mountains.

  • 74 Kansas History the Chaos of Conquest: the Bents and the Problem of American Expansion, 1846–1849 by David Beyreis
    Bent’s Fort, as depicted by Works Projects Administration artist Harry Miller. Courtesy of History Colorado, Denver, Colorado. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 41 (Summer 2018): 74–89 74 Kansas History The Chaos of Conquest: The Bents and the Problem of American Expansion, 1846–1849 by David Beyreis ames K. Polk’s election as the eleventh president of the United States upset Charles Bent deeply. Chief partner in the largest American trading firm in the Southern Plains, he feared that Young Hickory’s aggressive expansionist platform would disrupt the delicate balance of regional power necessary to the maintenance of Bent, St. Vrain and Company’s financial success. On January 24, 1845, from his home in Taos, Bent wrote Manuel Álvarez, the U.S. Jconsul in Santa Fe, “I am fearfull that this election will cause difficulty between this and our country.” Polk’s policies, combined with the rise to power of nationalist hard-liners in Mexico City, worried the trader, and for good reason. Rather than profiting from the territorial aggrandizement of the United States when war came in 1846, Bent, St. Vrain & Company suffered grievous losses. Expansion intensified conflict between white settlers and local Indian tribes over access to diminishing natural resources such as grass, timber, and the region’s shrinking buffalo herds. On its own, far from the reach of American power, the firm flourished. When the United States entered the Southern Plains, however, Bent, St. Vrain and Company’s fortunes declined rapidly.1 This article uses Bent, St. Vrain and Company as a case study to examine the impact of the U.S.-Mexican War on the American population living in the region at the time of the conflict.
