JORE IORD HIS issue of the 1929 Annual represents the beginning of an effort upon the part of your Officers and Trustees to present it in a some- what improved and more attractive form. You will observe that some new matter has been introduced, and the long lists containing names and addresses of members have been omitted. It is our intention to publish these names and addresses in the near future in a separate pamphlet, to be followed at intervals by supplements containing only changes and additions to date. There has been much discussion and correspondence concerning the continued publication of obituaries of deceased members; but the pre- ponderance of opinion seems clearly to be that these should be contin- ued in a somewhat condensed form. Our Constitution declares that "The object of the Association shall be to cherish the memories of the : Military Academy * X ," and surely this involves recording the activi- ties of her graduates. The number of inquiries which is constantly be- ing received and which can be answered only from the records of the Association, is of itself ample proof that the Association is performing an important and useful work in collecting and publishing this data. The unusually large number of obituaries in this volume represents in part the clearing up of past accumulations. The prompt cooperation of members in furnishing information and assistance when requested by the Secretary will greatly facilitate this work. The publication of the 1928 Annual was unavoidably delayed due to a variety of causes among which was the extra work involved in connection with the Endowment Fund, and the very limited office staff then available. This Annual closely follows that of 1928, and it is ex- pected that in the future the Annuals will be published shortly after the Annual Meeting in June. The Trustees are endeavoring to make these Annuals more of a cur- rent history of the Academy than has been possible in the past, and hope to occasionally issue one or more bulletins at intervals between Annual numbers. In this and all other work of the Association, it is a pleasure to record the invaluable services now being rendered byCaptain William H. Donaldson, C. A. C., August, '17, as Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer of the Association, and Acting Secretary during the absence of Colonel Alexander. For many years the work of the Associa- 10 Annual Report, June 12, 1929 tion crowded heavily upon the Academic duties of the two distinguished members of the Academic Board who gave so generously their time and talents to the duties of Secretary and Treasurer. The recent assignment to West Point of this officer from the active list to assist in the work of the Association is an event of the first importance, and promises much towards the increased usefulness of the Association in the future. AVERY D. ANDREWS, '86, President. West Point, October, 1929. Report of Annual Meeting Held at West Point, New York June 12, 1929 1. The meeting was called to order at 2.15 P. M. by the President of the Association. 2. Prayer by Chaplain Kinsolving of the U. S. Military Academy. 3. Upon motion, duly passed, the calling of the roll was dispensed with. The attendance was large, and while a list of those present was not obtained, the roll of visiting graduates as officially registered, June, 1929, is printed in this report. 4. The President informed the meeting that 280 out of 299 mem- bers of the graduating class, 1929, had joined the Association. The President then made a few brief remarks concerning the necessity for amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, the increase of the number of Vice-Presidents from one to five, the appointment of an Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer, the necessity for the En- dowment Fund and its encouraging progress, the status of the Memorial Tablet to Lt. Colonel Koehler and the gratitude of the Association to the Army ladies who have oversubscribed the amount necessary to install the organ screen in the Chapel. 5. Dykman, 1875, presented amendments to the Certificate of In- corporation of the Association of Graduates of the United States Mili- tary Academy. The Secretary read an affidavit showing that pursuant to Section 43 of the Membership Corporations Law, a copy of the notice of meeting had been published in a newspaper of the State of New York once in each week for three successive weeks next preceding the date of the meeting, and not less than ten nor more than forty days before the meeting.

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 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.
