families to another locality: "The
movement had commenced, the long
slopes of prairie being dotted with
Indians, some near, some far away,
while Indians were constantly coming
out of their tepees, and mounting the
horses that stood saddled at their doors.
By all hour after sunrise, most of the
men had disappeared by this time the
camp had begun it's movement. The
pack-animals being loaded, the women
mounted their ponies and each family
struck out IN its own direction and
marched by itself, the only apparent
care being to prevent the loose pack
animals from mixing together. When
the front of the column had probably
gone two miles from me, it was quite
mile in width, and even yet in camp,
squaws were striking tepees and pack
ing animals"

IN GENERAL.

lost mysterious Quivira, consider the
"Old Santa Fe Trail" prehistoric and
the good road mentioned by Jaramillo,
traversed by Coronado, 1541, from the
Arkansas river, below the present
Dodge City, to the settlements of the
Quiviran Indians south of the Kansas
river and on his return journey to
Tiguez. This is altogether all errone
Gus idea.
The Sante Fe trail was the result of
necessity of having route of communi-
cation from the Missouri river to the
Mexican settlements in New Mexico
Thomas H. Benton introduced in the
early twenties of last century in the
United States Senate, a bill for the
establishment of route to New Mexico,
which was passed by both branches of
congress. The route was surveyed and
laid out, in nearly straight line from
Westport, Mo-, near Kansas City, to
Trinidad, Colorado. The Santa Fe trail
as it was and is still called, ran from
Westport to Burlingame, Council Grove,
crossed Cow creek in the vicinity of
the present site of Mcpherson, Wal
nut creek in Barton county, several
miles above it's mouth and reached the
Arkansas river at it's extreme northern
bend (the "Big Bend') near Fort Larah,
and ran then toward the Kansas Colorado
line. A branch of the trail crossed the
Arkansas river in the vicinity where the
present town of Cimaron is situated;
this crossi ng was known as the Cimaron
crossing, the trail passing around the
east end of the Ration mountains. This
branch was known as the ''Dry Route"
on account of it's lack of water, wood
and pasturage. The main road went
up Purgatory river, (Which the "Bull-
whackers" and "Mule- -skinners" had cor
rupted into "Picket-wire' to Trinidad
and thence through and over Ration
pass, through which was built "Dick
Wooton's toll road" At first it was
travelled by pack animals, afterwards
by wagons. The first wagon train
started in the spring OF 1898 over the
road. One of the parties on this trip
says: "We had about 1000 miles to
travel, and as there was no wagon road
in these early days across the plains to
the mountains, we were compelled to
take our chances through the vast wild
erness seeking the best route that we
could, This party started from West
port, Mo-; they crossed near Cimaron
and went the "Dry Route" going
around the Ration mountains.-As to the
Santa Fe trail being prehistoric, neither
evidence nor tradition can be found,
and anyone cognizant of the mode of
travel by the Indians would not assume
it to be so, for the Indians had no
animals of burden except dogs, until

some permanent trails, from tribe to
tribe may have existed, but this is very
doubtful The vast multitude of buf-
faloes roaming over the plains, would
soon have obliterated any trail made
by moccasins and light lodge poles
dragged by dogs. All these writers
have heard something about trails, and
associate the idea of road or bridle-path
with it, but they are not conversant
with the mode of travel by the Indians
I hold that there are no prehistoric
trails across the plains, where in
timbered country such may be found.
The conditions Oh the "Great West
ern Palms." were practically the same
from prehistoric times from the time
when the Spanards came first in contact
with the Indians of the plains in 1541,
until very recent times; till the extinc-
tion of the buffalo and the retention of
the Indians on reservations.
Hardly anyone knew the Indian, his
customs, mode of life and travel, better
than Colonel Richard I. Dodge; in his
book "Our Wild Indians" the result Of
over thirty years experience among the
Aborigines, he says:
"The Indian is traveller by instinct.
Under no other hypothesis can we
understand the marvellous journeys,
prolonged to months, even years, made
by individual Indians, or the ease and
certainty with which, when tired of
wandering, they make their way over the
trackless Waste' of the broad continent,
to the spot they recognize as home. Ask
an Indian how to go to a point, at a
distant of one mile or hundred miles,
and he will point out the direction.
Press him closely, and if he has been to
that point, he will by his minute de-
scription disclose another of his remark
able traits, his wonderful memory of
land marks.
81 have said that he travels by in
stinct, and this is always true on long
journeys into unknown countries, or
on the short trip of days or weeks, spent
in hunting. But for raids and forages,
and for easy journeying from one por-
ton of the country to another, he
makes use of land marks. This is his
habitual and preferred mode of travel,
and on going on such a journey, into a
country unknown to him, he consults

and it is simply astonishing how clearly
the one describes, and the other COM
prehends, all that is necessary to make
the journey a success"

minuteness the military precision with
which the movements of the Indians are
executed, whether on the peaceful jour-
ney from one camp to another, or on the
