Pike's Peak; Z. Pike Expedition

Was THIS, the "source" of the "Beale Expedition"...?

That and several other expeditions were incorporated in creating the Beale expedition story in 1885 Beale.

Hmmm... WEST of the Mississippi River was NEW SPAIN; from New Orleans, LA, up to St. Louis, MO was French Territory, and St. Louis, MO was known as French UPPER LOUISIANA... SO! Capt. Beale & 29 men started from "FRENCH" territory in St. Louis, MO...? Prez TJ got Louisiana Territory from the FRENCH, prior to "BE" (Beale Expedition)... MANY expeditions sent out!
