factured articles, starting from as far
east Boston and New York and
crossing Pennsylvania, were f1oated
down the Ohio to Cape Girardeau,
thence up the Mississippi 200 miles to
st. Louis. Independence lays claim to
being the terminus and starting point;
SO does Kansas City. Virtually, how
ever, st. Louis merits that distinction.
All merchandise originated at ST. Louis
or beyond, and was carried up the Mis-
souri, river to Westport landing, which
was a part of Kansas City. and was
then transferred to the waiting wag-
ons forming into caravans for the long
trek to Santa Fe. The legal tender in
those days was the universal Mexican
dollar, and these same schooners would
return from their trading pilgrimage
laden with this precious commodity,
which they had received in exchange
for their goods. And the bandits
waxed fat because of this. Indian at
tacks were not half so menacing as the
fearful onslaughts of these, despera-
does, who pillaged without mercy.
These returning caravans, If they start
ed back in early spring, were fortunate
to reach WeStport landing in JULY
