According to the local history index card, Augustus Storrs had gone on a trading expedition to Santa Fe on the summer previous to his 1825 interview by Senator Benton and described the route, character, and condition of the country and trade of New Mexico (then part of Mexico) and Indian depredations on the traders. It is dated Franklin, Missouri, November 1824, and is an extremely valuable and interesting document. About this time began the agitation for a road to Santa Fe and military protections for the caravans.
