had previously visited Santa Fe. In 1815 Au-
guste P. Choteau and Julius de Mun formed a
partnership and went with a large party to the
Upper Arkansas to hunt, trap and trade with
the Indians. The following year they visited
Taos and Santa Fe, and were well received by
Governor Mainez. But there was a change of
policy the following year on the part of the
Mexican government, perhaps for the reason
that the “gringos” were becoming too numerous,
monopolizing the fur trade, killing the buffa-
loes for their skins, and making merchandise
of buffalo tongues, a luxury in the states, and
even then in the frontier village of St. Louis
they commanded a dollar each.
