History Of The Santa Fc Trail
Globe Silver Belt.
The Las Cruces (N.M.) Republican gives
an account of a party of young men, Hugh
Stephenson, Lewis Dutton, Lucas Doane, Joshua
Sledd, James Kirker, Robert McNight, Henry
Corlew and Esteven Chushie, who in 1830,
“made the Santa Fe trail and marked the route
followed by thousands in after years.” That
they marked the route is contradicted by
Gregg’s Commerce of the Plains, as also by
Niles Register. Fifteen thousand dollars worth
of merchandise from St. Louis, Missouri, was
delivered in Santa Fe in 1822, and the traffic
had increased to $120,000 in 1830, the year
in which the Las Cruces Republican claims
Hugh Stephenson and others made the trail.
