Description
Proposed by Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton in 1825, the Santa Fe Road was intended to provide traders with the protection of the U.S. government as they crossed from Fort Osage to the Arkansas River through Indian Territory. Commissioners surveyed the route, negotiated with with the Kansa and Osage tribes for safe passage along the road, and completed the project in 1827. However, the road proved unpopular with traders as it differed from their traditional route and lacked adequate water and grass.
