Abstract

Many works have been written concerning the Santa Fe trade and the various traders who had a part in carrying it on; but to the writer's knowledge no one has written an account of the part which St. Louis had in this great commerce. Writers generally state the Santa Fe was the western end of the trail and Franklin of Independence was the eastern end. St. Louis was situated off the highway, as it were; and, although she might have participated in the trade, being off the highway, it is usually judged that her part in it was slight. The writer's opinion is that St. Louis' part in the Santa Fe trade was greater than has been generally believed.
