. . . . "The Glenn\u2013Fowler expedition to Santa Fe, New Mexico was led by Hugh Glenn and Jacob Fowler to see whether trade with the Spanish in the region would be feasible. The expedition was made up of 21 men. They left their establishment on the Verdigris River in present-day Oklahoma on September 25, 1821, and arrived in Santa Fe in January 1822, and found that the Spanish authority in the region had been ended by the Mexican War of Independence. The new Mexican government was quite happy to promote trade between Mexico and the United States. The authorities gave the expedition to trap and hunt in the formerly Spanish lands. The expedition members obtained nearly 1,100 pounds (500 kg) of furs before they left the area on their return trip. They returned home successfully, proving that trade with the Santa Fe area was feasible. The profitable trip, along with the earlier trip of William Becknell, led to the establishment of the Santa Fe Trail. Glenn and Fowler were the first Anglo Americans to travel in the region around modern-day Pueblo. While exploring that area, they learned that the Spanish government no longer was in control. The Mexican government had gained control of the former Spanish territory."@en . "1118858515"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "6437"^^ . . . . . . "31029421"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
